Feature request: support for external editor #4176

Closed as duplicate

Description

@aleksey-perplexity

I would like to be able to use an external EDITOR to edit my query, please.

For example, in bash I can press ctrl-X ctrl-E to edit my command line in $EDITOR.

Something like that in Claude Code would be super duper.

Thanks for a great product! Keep it going!
