fpp not opening files in $EDITOR

[Zane-]

Hello,

I have my $EDITOR set to vim, however when I attempt to open a file using fpp, it opens in nano instead.

Here's a video reproduction:

Thought it might be using $VISUAL, which was set to nano, but I've changed that to vim as well, and still opening in nano.

If you didn't already read that, maybe that can help:

The $FPP_EDITOR environment variable can be set to tell PathPicker which editor to open the selected files with. If that variable is not set, $VISUAL and then $EDITOR are used as fallbacks, with "vim" as a last resort.

Also, be sure to restart your terminal after updating an environment variable.

I set that variable, and it works now, but I'll still keep this open as it didn't pick any of the fallbacks, nor the last resort.

Are you sure $FPP_EDITOR wasn't already defined elsewhere? (maybe not by you but by a plugin or something like that)

I ripgrep'd my whole system, no results. I'm using a tmux-fpp plugin, but it doesn't set it anywhere (and I was also able to reproduce this outside of tmux)

I removed $FPP_EDITOR from my .zshrc, re-sourced it, and ran echo $FPP_EDITOR, which didn't return anything.

It doesn't seem to be an issue with PathPicker but rather with tmux (and how it handles environment variables).

Works now that I've moved the EXPORT statements above tmux's execution in my .zshrc. Thanks!
