The System's default text editor can be defined within /etc/profile. It's given the variable `EDITOR`.
Add these lines to `/etc/profile.d/local.sh`:
```
export EDITOR=vim
export VISUAL=$EDITOR
```
Then reload that profile with:
```bash
source /etc/profile
```
If you want to ensure `nano` never appears again:
```bash
sudo ln -sf $(which vim) $(which nano)
```
