Not sure, other systems might not support both xed and gedit and i don't think nano or other command line editors are user friendly enough. Might have to look into building an actual UI for the config.

Solution is simple: use xdg-open instead of gedit here

howdy/src/cli/config.py

Line 12 in 84c0501

subprocess.Popen(["gedit", os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__)) + "/../config.ini"],

Or, the better solution: use CLI editor /etc/alternatives/editor

xdg-open opens in a wine version of Notepad for me so i'm not sure about that. Both firefox and nautilus open a .ini in gedit by default for me so i'm not sure what xdg-open is using here.

/etc/alternatives/editor is nice but nano might be a little confusing for less technical people? I'm sure the amount of people who use Ubuntu and not know how to save in nano is very small, maybe a comment in the config file explaining how to close nano would be enough?
