There are two questions here: 1) How can mc's colors be changed? Answer: via environment variables or the configuration file (~/.config/mc/ini) - see the "Colors" section of the mc manpage. 2) How can mc's default editor be changed? Answer: via mc.ext (copy /etc/mc/mc.ext to ~/.config/mc/mc.ext and edit the copied version) Celejar
