Re: mc using nano when vim.tiny is my default editor?

	After contemplation, my reply is:

I use vi.

In my ~/.config/mc/mc.ext I have

	include/editor
	Open=%var{EDITOR:vi} %f

and


# Default target for anything not described above
default/*
	Open=%var{EDITOR:vi} %f
	View=%var{EDITOR:vi} %f

Maybe that will assist you.

Be well,
Charlie
