The solution depends upon how you want to solve the problem.
You can set the
VISUALorEDITORenvironment variables to the text editor of your choice, probably in your shell startup scripts (see~/.bashrcif this is all new to you).If your distribution uses the
/usr/bin/sensible-editortool, you can use theselect-editor(1)tool to update your choice.You can set the
/etc/alternatives/editoror similar files to the editor you wish, iff you want the change to be made system-wide for all users, and your system uses theupdate-alternatives(8)mechanism to manage which specific tool to use for which tasks.
