-1: for the "command" parameters such as source_editor and command_editor, a string list is used to separate the different program arguments, e.g. if you wish to use `vim -c 'startinsert'`, you should write the list `["vim", "-c", "startinsert"]`. In both case, a temporary or regular file name will be appended to this command when run.
