The system's default text editor can be defined within /etc/profile. It's given the variable `EDITOR`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Add these lines to /etc/profile:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
export EDITOR=vim
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
export VISUAL=$EDITOR
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then reload that profile with:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> source /etc/profile
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If nano still pops up:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> sudo ln -sf $(which vim) $(which nano)
|
|
|
|
|
|
