SuEdit

This is a neovim plugin that makes it easy to edit privileged files with your usual editor commands instead of using special tools like sudoedit.

If you don't have write access to the file open in the current buffer, the plugin will automatically ask for elevated privileges and copy the changes to the original file.

Installation

Using lazy.nvim

{
  "Grafcube/suedit.nvim",
  dependencies = "akinsho/toggleterm.nvim",
},

Configuration

You can change the command used to ask for permissions. By default, sudo is used.

{
  "Grafcube/suedit.nvim",
  dependencies = "akinsho/toggleterm.nvim",
  opts = { cmd = "sudo" } -- default
  -- eg: { cmd = "doas" }
  -- eg: { cmd = "run0" }
},
