Punched 'Emacs' into a browser and Google asked "Did you mean Vi ?" . I got scared :)

Emacs runs also in a console e.g. over thin telnet connections, and is thus a possible replacement for Vi.

Google's idea of a joke. If you search for Vi, it'll ask if mean 'emacs' too

FWIW the Custom Op now supports an external file, in addition to a text blob. This means you could use what ever editor you want and just hit 'Recompute object' to bring changes into FreeCAD. I dont' quite understand your use case so not sure if this is helpful though.
