Hello @sfs-pra, thank you for the link to the AUR PKGBUILD.

I'm not sure what is your question or comment. Would you please elaborate?

The PKGBUILD you linked contains an independent patch that adds an inline editor feature.
I have not reviewed the patch, or built the AUR package, but I think it is a very interesting feature.

If this issue is about the inline editor not working in the AUR package, then you should ask the package author.
Or perhaps you are the package author and want to share the patch with users of mdview MTX and me?

If this issue is about not being able to start the text editor from within mdview, then you should make sure the environment variable DEFAULTTEXTEDITOR is set to a GUI editor in the shell that runs mdview.

Example:

    (export DEFAULTTEXTEDITOR=gedit; mdview $HOME/Documents/file.md)

Then press Ctrl+E when you want to edit the document you are viewing.
This will run the $DEFAULTTEXTEDITOR program passing the path of the document file. Edit and save the file.
This is not live editing but you can refresh the page in the viewer pressing Alt+H (or LeftArrow + RightArrow, depending on how you started mdview).

Yes! I did it in opencode.

Nice! I can change the title of this issue to "live editor patch" or you could do it...
