Please add support for downloading all topics in a category. For example, this would be very useful for inspecting the source text of the entirety of a documentation set. For the 'ceph' category:

discedit -get-all-category-topics ceph

./discedit works as expected, unless EDITOR includes a flag.

My EDITOR in my macOS partition is /usr/local/bin/mate -w (TextMate - the -w flag is needed for use with tools like Git, that need to wait for an edit to complete).

Unfortunately, the end result is:

error: cannot edit file <filename>: fork/exec /usr/local/bin/mate -w: no
such file or directory 

i.e. I think that fork/exec is confused by the flag, and is trying to find a file called /usr/local/bin/mate -w.

I'm not sure how to work around this, other than by creating a wrapper script that will invoke /usr/local/bin/mate -w on the file.

Instead of having to save and close the file in order to update the remote copy on the Discourse instance, would it be possible to do so upon merely saving the file? Thank you.

For docs CI, it could be handy if we could update the contents of a discourse URL from an already existing local markdown file (one way blind sync).

Currently discedit requires a token that is of "user level: single user" but of scope "global key (allows all actions)" per https://github.com/niemeyer/discedit#configure-discedit-with-your-discourse-keys.

This means that if the user in question is an admin, they could potentially use this token to delete or modify other users.

Discourse tokens can be scoped to "topics" with "read" and "write" permissions. However, creating a token with just these permissions didn't seem to work.

Is it possible to update discedit to be able to use scoped tokens?
