Install with fman's built-in command for installing plugins.
To use with the BitBar plugin, you will need to have BitBar installed and the currentFiles.1h.rb plugin installed and configured. You can also use the Alfred BitBar Workflow to control the plugin.
Alternatively, you can use the TextBar program with the Current Files and Editor plugin installed. You can use the Alfred with the My Editor Workflow to control the editor and edit files.
After restarting fman, you will be able to select the editor you are currently using to edit file.
Since this plugin used files from the above two mentioned plugins for TextBar or BitBar, this plugin is intended for and usable mostly on a macOS system. It should be usable on other systems if you create the needed files in your home directory yourself.
