Currently resizing of the terminal doesn't play nicely with
nix edit when using kakoune as the editor, as it relies on the
SIGWINCH signal which is trapped by nix. How this is not a problem
with e.g. vim is beyond me.
Virtually all other exec* calls are following a call to
restoreSignals(). This commit adds this behavior to nix edit
as well.
This reverts commit a0ef21262f. This
doesn't work in 'nix run' and nix-shell because setns() fails in
multithreaded programs, and Boehm GC mark threads are uncancellable.
Fixes#2646.
This is a little convenience command that opens the Nix expression of
the specified package. For example,
nix edit nixpkgs.perlPackages.Moose
opens <nixpkgs/pkgs/top-level/perl-packages.nix> in $EDITOR (at the
right line number for some editors).
This requires the package to have a meta.position attribute.
