Scott’s Own Editor — a built-in TUI text editor for CLI tools.

Provides a single entry point that resolves the best available editor using Git’s precedence ($GIT_EDITOR → core.editor → $VISUAL → $EDITOR) and falls back to a built-in TUI editor when none is configured.

// One call — handles external editors and built-in fallback automatically
let result = soe::capture("Enter your message (lines starting with # are ignored)")?;

// Or with pre-filled content
let result = soe::capture_with_initial("Edit the description", "existing text here")?;

// Direct access to the built-in TUI editor
let result = soe::edit("filename", "initial content", soe::EditorMode::PlainText)?;
