Command edition in Editor not working on MacOS if noclobber option is set

[Mrngilles]

I've been trying to understand exactly why my edition in editor was not working anymore on mac, and after investigation, I did find out that since I have the option noclobber in my rcfile, the following line was actually trying to override an existing file:

zsh-vi-mode/zsh-vi-mode.zsh

Line 1751 in 63e5a52

echo "$BUFFER" > "$tmp_file"

I think this behaviour is Mac specific, and that there might be some strange behaviour happening with mktemp reusing files, even though you delete it.

I got it working by creating a custom widget, and simply replacing

  echo "$BUFFER" > "$tmp_file"

with

  echo "$BUFFER" >! "$tmp_file"

This solution should work no matter the status of the clobber option.

Hopefully that is clear enough a description. Please let me know if you need more information
