Editors

If you want to let Klunok back up files edited with an application that is not recognized as an editor by default, add the name of the executable that is normally used to start the application to the editors setting. For example, if you type awesomeeditor file.txt in the terminal when you want to edit file.txt with awesomeeditor, add editors.awesomeeditor = true to the configuration file.

This works for many applications on most Linux distributions. If it doesn't work, some investigation is needed to find out what executable writes to the file on behalf of the application. Please open a GitHub issue or ping nazar@vinnich.uk and we'll look into it.

Unfortunately, some applications are not fully compatible with Klunok. These include:

• some interpreted applications, for example Python scripts;
• applications that use mmap to edit files;
• applications that write to a temporary file and then replace the edited file with rename.
