I am always working remotely on a linux server machine.
Thus, opening via the node-open doesn't work, the "gtt config" will never return.
When I am using
xdb-open path-to-config.js
(what the node-open package does under the hood), I am getting these messags:AFAIK the whole xdg stuff is for GUI apps/multi terminal environments. For a terminal application, i would expect it to open in the EDITOR environment variable, like
git commit
does.The proposed change checks the environment for known SSH variables (1). If those and the EDITOR is found, that is launched instead.
