ctl+e
it seems to just open a whole new terminal window with no context within my document.
anybody got ideas?

grim. Thanks!learning new stuff every day!
What is the command executing when you press this shortcut? Usually you need to use an option with the terminal to execute a command. Most terminals use the option
-e COMMAND, but it can be different for a few terminal apps. In example my terminal is “Konsole” and to open a new terminal with “Vim”, I need to use this command:konsole -e nvim. Or when I want to use arguments for vim itself, I can do it like thiskonsole -e "vim -R $HOME/Downloads/test.txt"as an example.So find out how to do this with your terminal and use that as a command for your
ctrl-eshortcut.when i edit a file i will put
micro test.txtsudo can be applied after. i should be able to open a terminal within the editor and have it appear on the bottom. I should be able to use it to change the settings or style of the micro editor, but it just opens up a whole new instance of my terminal. (which is fish btw)
i’ll look and see if i have any arguments to add.or maybe edit the config?I’m a bit confused. Your terminal is not Fish. Fish is a shell like Bash, which interprets the commands. Terminal is the window application. Based on the linked image, I assume you have Kitty as your terminal? And you want to open a terminal within your editor using shortcut
Ctrl-e?If so, then I don’t know about this. I thought you want to run a terminal with micro as the editor from outside of micro, not after you started micro. I might have completely missed your point here then.
sorry, fish is shell, terminal is kitty. you are correct.
I feel like there is an alternate reality where I use micro. I remember getting excited when it was first announced, then I just never really needed it.
