Pass the line number to the external pager/editor as well

[akochkov]

If you perform a search in mc, you can see the results in format

path/to/file.txt:123

where 123 is the line number with a match. Currently mc supports only opening the file at this line only using internal viewer, would be nice to support with external pagers as well.

For example I'm using neovim/vim as a pager, it has a plugin (and I hope will be in the core sometime soon) - ​https://github.com/kopischke/vim-fetch

See the issue in NeoVim? - ​https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/1281

Replying to akochkov:

Not only.

would be nice to support with external pagers as well.

This is already done for years.

For example I'm using neovim/vim as a pager, it has a plugin (and I hope will be in the core sometime soon) - ​https://github.com/kopischke/vim-fetch

Right now you can add nvim to /usr/share/mc/mc.lib, section "[External editor or viewer parameters]" and it should work.

So?

Yes, it works. Sorry, I thought you already closed this bug.
