Improve package editing

[FelixMohr]

Sure :)

Works exactly as intended:

• No application has been chosen for opening TOML files: proji package edit opens the configuration with TextEdit (Screenshot). After saving and pressing Enter, the new config is persisted.
• After specifying an application (VS Code) to be used for opening TOML files, proji package edit opens the file in VS Code. Updates are persisted successfully.

See skratchdot/open-golang.

A first version of this feature can be found here.

Need feedback if the automatic opening of config files works on different platforms:

• Linux
• MacOS
• Windows

Hi @nikoksr,

I've checked it on MacOS and unfortunately got an error.

The reason is that on my machine, no application is connected to TOML files:

I think this might apply to many users. A possible solution for MacOS might be to try open.Run first. If an error on MacOS occurs, instead, open.RunWith(configFile, "TextEdit") could be executed. TextEdit is a simple text editor that's available on any Mac.

Edit: Or just inform the user that no application is linked to TOML yet, instead of just showing the exit code.

@FelixMohr I implemented your recommended changes. When the open command fails to automatically open the config in a text editor it will try to open the file with the program TextEdit.

Would be highly appreciated if you could test the changes on the improve-package-editing branch for macOS.

Check package editing under Windows and it opened the dialog for choosing a default application for toml files immediately so I'll let that one pass working.
