To illustrate what's going on I share this output after using external editor:

Code:

^[^[POBOBBOB6?xml version="1.0" encoding="ut^[8"?>
6!DOCTYPE html>

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:epub="http://www.idpf.org/2007/ops">
<head>
<title></title>
</head>

<body>
<p> </p>
</body>
</html^[^[P06r^[\OBOBBOB66b68=1

This is after starting sigil like this in the terminal:

Code:

sigil &

Whereas without the ampersand &, the text doesn't get random strings inserted into the file. It feels as if sigil is intercepting the keystrokes and sending random characters (hopefully not telemetry).

What's going on?

Is there a way to get a completely stand alone terminal with text based editor? It would help if sigil had an option for external editor such as

External Editor command:

myterm -more -options -etc

In preferences.

Thanks.
