Comment on Show HN: Tap curl in your editor before it gets to shparent

Comments

How is it better? Pasting is a totally different use case from `curl | sh`.

Typical use case:

* type "curl <paste>" in zsh, vim opens with "curl <pasted-url>

* inspect URL, if OK in Normal mode do !!zsh<CR> (I assume emacs can also somehow eval current line in shell and replace line with output)

* inspect the code downloaded (still in vim) and then execute it (or save to file then execute).
