The editor to use is specified in the EDITOR environment variable. It is set by executing /etc/profile when you open a new login ter I guess, you still get: […]$ env | grep EDITOR EDITOR=/usr/bin/nano You can try […]$ . /etc/profile (it „sources" the initial profile again) But I guess, the script sets the variable only if it is undefined. So you have to add to your […]$ vim ~/.bashrc A line like export EDITOR="/usr/bin/vim“ At the end of the file and then source this file […]$ . ~/.bashrc Afterwards a […]$ env | grep EDITOR Should get you a EDITOR=/usr/bin/vim — Peter Boy https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Pboy p...@fedoraproject.org Timezone: CET (UTC+1) / CEST (UTC+2) Fedora Server Edition Working Group member Fedora Docs team contributor and board member Java developer and enthusiast -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
