Allows you to capture user input by opening a text editor instead of stdin. Manually passing large amounts of data through stdin is cumbersome and not widely supported as it depends on the terminal emulator.
This module creates a temporary file and opens it with the configured text editor. When the user saves the file and quits the editor, we read back the file while optionally deleting it.
Since most text editors support UTF-8, any emojis and special characters will be handled safely instead of replying on the terminal.
