I agree commandsconfig is probably not the best configuration file for
edit. I could see a workflow where a user could bash out a project
then want to edit help files later, then switch back to code. This
does not look like a template class rewrite to me. Perhaps such a
configuration might go into .quickly in the project folder?

This works but is a bit tortuous

foo-template/edit.py

from quickly.template.ubuntu_application import Edit as UbuntuAppEdit

class Edit(UbuntuAppEdit):

edit_files = ["project"]

To switch file group you need to gedit
~/.config/quickly/templates/foo-template/edit.py

foo-template/edit.py

from quickly.template.ubuntu_application import Edit as UbuntuAppEdit

class Edit(UbuntuAppEdit):

edit_files = ["help"]

However was't one of the points of quickly to make stuff like
gedit ~/.config/quickly/templates/foo-template/edit.py easier ?
