Apparently the BSD way to specify editor ($EDITOR / $VISUAL / mailcap)
sucks pretty bad. I reckon mailcap is basically a good idea, but doesn't
work very well, and could use some occam's razor. I hazard to guess
that the freedesktop people have reimplemented it rather than fixed it :/
Anyway, as

Your code assumes that VISUAL contains a graphical editor.
I'm not sure, but I think the semantics when this variable
first began to be used was to distinguish a full-screen editor

That would make the config do more than it is supposed to.
I agree that it makes sense to respect $VISUAL though.
I now changed the line to
SNOTES_EDITOR
SNOTES_EDITOR=${VISUAL:+xterm -e $VISUAL}
: "${SNOTES_EDITOR:=${EDITOR:-vim}}"

Better:

Something like this should work:

Sorry for not publishing it earlier.

You almost definitely want "$@", not $*.

Since this issue cropped up I figured I might as well take a quick look at
the script. There are two other things that might be worth changing after a
quick skim:
- Not sure what's up with all the ''[ -n "`which foo`" ]'' idioms. Use
''type'' and just check the exit code.
- Instead of escaping in
Use ''.'' instead of ''source'', it's POSIX.

Hey everyone,
I mentioned some days ago in a private conversation
that I've written a small notes organizer using dmenu
and git. People got curious and so I cleaned it up
a bit and hereby publish
snotes version 0.9
