I've just downloaded Ninja IDE and I really like it's interface.
Is there a way to configure the Quickly app to launch my project in Ninja IDE when I type quickly edit?

quickly
should support the EDITOR
environmental variable.
$ quickly help ubuntu-application edit
Usage: quickly edit
A convenience command to open all of your python files in your project
directory in your default editor, ready for editing.
If you put yourself EDITOR or SELECTED_EDITOR environment variable, this latter
will be used. Also, if you configured sensible-editor, this one will be
choosed.
I don't have any other GUI IDEs installed, but I tested it with $ export EDITOR=nano && quickly edit
and all files were opened in nano
instead of gedit
. Adding export EDITOR=nano
to your ~/.bashrc
should make this change persistent.
~/
is shorthand for the current user's home folder. So if your user name is "nootrino" it expands to /home/nootrino/
The .bashrc
file is hidden from view most of the time as all files or folders starting with a dot (".
") are. Open your home folder and press Ctrl + h
to expose these hidden configuration files, often referred to as "dot files."

If you don't want to change the default editor for your system you could just use
export QUICKLY_EDITOR="yourpreferrededitorhere"
I found this somewhere on the net, so credits go to the guy who discovered this solution.
