Is there an editor that can request root privileges without restarting it? That would be quite useful.

Apparently that doesn’t work in NeoVim, so recently I installed the suda plugin.
Personally, I just doas nvim and then the file name that needs root access, but it’s a handy plugin in case I forget.
