Hi,

Just wanted to share the latest changes in `remint`. I won't communicate on all future changes, no worries, but those are mostly direct responses to some of the valuable feedback I received from the list in the past couple days (plus a few other things I had in mind) so users in this list might be interested in getting the latest commit:

- no more unconventional setting of $EDITOR in the script, it will now just trust what is set in the environment, adjust the `add` command accordingly, or detect which editor is available on the system if $EDITOR is not set (assuming that if an editor is installed despite usually not coming pre-installed in distributions, then the user might want to favor it);
- new option to toggle Monday/Sunday as first day of the week (also in the overview mode);
- it is not possible to set different spanning for the month and week views (default 1 and 4, respectively);
- new controls to adjust week span (-/+, -/=) and month span ([/]), with heading set accordingly in the list/agenda view;
- show week number together with DOY (when toggled on), because there's always someone to ask if you're available on week 37;
- no more recursive calls eating more and more memory;
- cursor visibility is restored on quit;
- support for $DOTREMINDERS;
- fixed a few corner cases whereby supplying `remint` with a directory as argument would cause errors;
- updated the README.

Thank you all again for all the feedback.

Cheers,

M
