First of all, thank you for making Gentoo better.
So, the I noticed 2 issues

  1. The pre-release version 1.14, which this ebuild is based have a few bugs, one of these bugs doesn't let the software initialize at all. Maybe that can have more bugs inside this pre-release version of brackets but how I couldn't even initialize I can't tell you more.

Solution: There's a new version of the software already. 1.14.1 is the version you have to look for. Bumping the version by editing the ebuild locally solved my problem

  1. The last issue is the .desktop file that has a typo or maybe a bug but, by the way, I didn't find anything related in the issues section of brackets. So if you try to open the file using the menu of the system it simply don't open, because of this bug/typo.

Solution: Copying the file at /usr/share/applications/brackets-brackets-bin.desktop to $HOME/.local/share/applications/ and changing the sections "Exec=brackets" and "TryExec=brackets" for "Exec=/opt/brackets/Brackets" and "TryExec=/opt/brackets/Brackets" respectively solved the problem. Now the software initialize as well.

PS.: I Don't know if there are more bugs out there but these was what I found.

Sorry for not making a Pull Request, but I'm not very experienced on Gentoo and Git. So hope it helps.

Bye!
