can i add on to this lets have it also auto request sudo permissions when needed? |
|
Why would it be needed when I |
|
Because not everybody wants to type in a terminal command every time they want to make a tweak to a setting that requires admin privileges. Kwrite already has this in place so I don't see why. Cosmic can't do it too |

This update addresses the issue where users couldn't open Cosmic Edit as root. It allows users to save read-only or root files using pkexec for privilege escalation, all within the graphical interface of Cosmic Edit, eliminating the need to open the terminal.
Changes:
Implemented pkexec functionality for saving read-only/root files.
Added a confirmation dialog for file modifications.
This feature resolves issue pop-os#249 and streamlines the process, ensuring a smoother experience for users managing protected files directly within Cosmic Edit.
