Issue:
GUI editors like VS Code open in a new, separate process, so calling programs need GUI editors to be launched with a wait flag to know when the user has finished editing and closed the tab to act on the file. Terminal editors (nano, vim, vi) run directly inside the terminal session, so calling programs automatically wait for the editor process to finish and then act.

Previously there was no handling for an additional arg in the $EDITOR env-var value.

Also, the error and program output would start on the input line and be more difficult to read.

Solutions:

  1. Check if the editor var has a flag and if that are is --wait or -w in which case adjust the exec Cmd to move the flag into the command arguements.
  2. Add a new-line after the input string. Using \n instead of Println to preserve formatted string print.

- check for --wait or -w in $EDITOR env-var value and adjust if present
- separate input line from program stdout and stderr

Hi @Daniel-Giszpenc. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a kubernetes member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work.

Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.
