Do I have to logout and back in for this change to take? Or is there an
easier way?
I've no idea what that does, but just installing that package is
unlikely to affect anything that's already running. If you don't want
to log out, try 'exec bash', which will re-initialize Bash within the
same process and may have the desired effect.
$ set|grep -i editor
EDITOR=/usr/bin/nano
$ exec bash
$ set|grep -i editor
EDITOR=/usr/bin/nano
so "exec bash" does not change it.
vim-default-editor I picked up a lot of releases ago when Fedora moved
to nano (or maybe it is Xfce) as the default editor to switch to vi.
Guess for now use the export command until my next logout which will
probably be the next boot...
