Subject: Implement "edit link in Vim" shortcut
X-Git-Url: https://git.madduck.net/etc/vim.git/commitdiff_plain/87518b31365db356d27594988e607b9a3dd95730?ds=sidebyside;hp=--cc

Implement "edit link in Vim" shortcut

Added a shortcut called `ge` that is similar to `gx` except that it
opens the file under the cursor for editing in Vim. This is particularly
useful when editing markdown that contains relative links to other
markdown files.
