I love using cot editor, especially the command line integration.
Often, I want to open a file in read-only mode, so that I don't risk modifying a file unintentionally.

Something like this:
cot -r

where the "-r" option would invoke the read-only option.

Thank you!!

Yes, that would be really useful. Wonder why most editors don't have this essential feature of being able to open a file as read-only.It would be a good feature addition for cot.

The implementation has just been done!
The feature will be delivered with CotEditor 5.1.0, which will be released in early spring.
