Hyper: Menu bar and keyboard shortcut do not open config

[OJFord]

If I use the macOS (10.12) menu bar, or the Cmd+, keyboard shortcut, to open .hyper.js it fails every time:

 echo Attempting to open ~/.hyper.js with your $EDITOR
 echo If it fails, open it manually with your favorite editor!
 bash -c 'exec env ${EDITOR:=nano} ~/.hyper.js'
~> echo Attempting to open ~/.hyper.js with your $EDITOR
Attempting to open /Users/ojf/.hyper.js with your vim
~>

As you can see, it doesn't even attempt to run the second echo. Running bash -c 'exec env ${EDITOR:=nano} ~/.hyper.js' manually works fine.

This has been an issue for as long as I've been using Hyper(term); not related to latest update to v0.8.3 (0.8.3.873).

Ah - this is perhaps an issue with the way the commands are sent, depending on the shell used - I'm using xonsh. Perhaps ; or && chaining (rather than newlines) would be more portable if that's the case.

Might be related to #822, but I'm still seeing the same issue on 0.8.3:

 echo Attempting to open ~/.hyper.js with your $EDITOR                                     
 echo If it fails, open it manually with your favorite editor!
 bash -c 'exec env ${EDITOR:=nano} ~/.hyper.js'
 ~ echo Attempting to open ~/.hyper.js with your $EDITOR
Attempting to open /Users/olivier/.hyper.js with your vi
 ~ echo If it fails, open it manually with your favorite editor!
If it fails, open it manually with your favorite editor!
~ bash -c 'exec env ${EDITOR:=nano} ~/.hyper.js'

Using zsh as my shell, I have export EDITOR=vi in my ~/.zshrc.

This is getting worse; not better!

Output is now:

 echo Attempting to open ~/.hyper.js with your \$EDITOR
 echo If it fails, open it manually with your favorite editor!
 bash -c 'exec env ${EDITOR:=nano} ~/.hyper.js'
~> echo Attempting to open ~/.hyper.js with your \$EDITOR
Attempting to open /Users/ojf/.hyper.js with your \vim
~>

😆

(Note the 'escape', and \vim.)

(Still an issue in v1.1.0.1408)

Same on Windows, if you use Powershell:

Closing as this was for v1
Feel free to open a new issue if you face any problems with the latest build

I don't use Hyper any more, but FYI in case it pops up again - shouldn't be tagged Windows. (I thought that seemed off since I didn't think I'd ever used Windows for development, and sure enough my OP did say macOS.)
