Allow --edit flag partway through an entry

[rightbrace]

I think it would be really helpful if the --edit flag could be invoked partway through an entry, for example:

$ jrnl now: I just finished homeschooling @Jane for the day. We talked about contractions, I explained that do not is often written as (oh, I\'ll need a lot of single quotes, but I really don\'t feel like escaping all of \'em) --edit

This would then open a file with all of the text up until the --edit already in it, so you could keep writing comfortably without copying out of your shell and pasting into your editor.

Hi! Thanks for submitting an issue.

It looks like the viewing flag (-n 1 or -1) might already do what you're looking for.

In your case, it might look something like this:

$ jrnl This is going to be a short entry, so I might as well just put it all on one line, although now it's getting too long and I want to move this into an editor.
[Entry added to default journal]
$ jrnl --edit -1
# Opens the above entry in your editor

Does that do what you're intending?

You know that is slightly less smooth than what I was intending (two commands over one) but I suppose it's close enough that adding the feature wouldn't be worth the additional complexity

That's fair. I'll think about whether this makes sense to implement or not, but for now that should get you most of the way there.

We're not in a great place to implement this right now (has to be done after refactoring the arg parsing code), but we've talked it over and think it makes sense for jrnl.
