Not that I know of. \e starts the external editor and you have to save and exit that editor to get back to psql in order to execute it. IMHO the whole construct has very limited usability.

Is there a way to define the name of the temporary file created
by \e command? I'd like to name it "afiedt.buf", not for
sentimental reasons. I already have a cron job that cleans
afiedt.buf from my home directory every hour and having psql name
temporary file like that would simplify the cleaning process. The
name comes from another database with the same editor construct as
\e. I am actually quite used to that.
