Make Textwrangler The Default For Mac

It should be possible to change the default terminal editor by setting an environment variable in.bashprofile. I have tried various permutations of, for instance: export EDITOR=/Applications/TextWrangler.app including: export EDITOR=/Applications/TextWrangler.app/ Contents/MacOS/TextWrangler and TextEdit tenaciously holds on as the default editor. 'prinetenv' even displays the default at: EDITOR=/Applications/TextWrangler.app Yet, Textedit remains the default editor.

• Are you on a Mac? If you run TextWrangler from the command line (Terminal.app) does TextWrangler open? My guess is that git is expecting you to pass it the name of an executable that is in your PATH. I would also guess that TextWrangler is not (this is just a guess, no experience with it).
• Mar 8, 2009 - Though I want to set it as my default editor for editing blank files (plain UTF-8 text files. AND TextWrangler.app -> TextEdit.app) the mac did what i wanted. Step 4: You might have to make the Mac forget about TextEdit.

Can anyone help me figure this out. Apple must set the default editor sin some oddball way. Thanks, -Kenoli. I have installed the command line tools for TextWrangler. As far as I can tell open -t in the terminal should open the default editor.

TextWrangler was an all-purpose text and code editor for macOS, based on the same award-winning technology and user interface as BBEdit, our leading professional HTML and text editor. TextWrangler is now part of BBEdit.

Instead it opens TextEdit. Also, I believe: export EDITOR=/Applications/TextWrangler.app or export EDITOR=/Applications/TextWrangler.app/ Contents/MacOS/TextWrangler should set the default editor to TextWrangler.

Open -a /Applications/TextWrangler.app causes the terminal to open TextWrangler. The reason this is important here is that I am trying to set TextWrangler as default editor in GIT because there is something in TextEdit that causes characters to read incorrectly in the terminal. Don't do that soft link to the GUI application binary.

On the TextWrangler (now BBEdit) Application menu, there is an option to install the proper command-line tools into /usr/local/bin. The latter path is one of the default paths already included in $PATH, so you do not need to append it again. Depending on whether you install the respective TextWrangler, or BBEdit command-line tools, you will be assigning /usr/local/bin/edit, or /usr/local/bin/bbedit respectively, to the EDITOR environment variable, though as you will see below, this is unnecessary. If you had tested what you wrote, which the hosts recommend that you do, you would have discovered that setting the EDITOR environment variable has nothing to do with the open command's instinct for opening text files in TextEdit. This is governed by the file type, and LaunchServices.

Had you installed the appropriate TextWrangler/BBEdit command-line tools, you could have just used the following, while leaving EDITOR unset. edit bbedit filename.txt. Apple Footer.
