Apparently nothing, but when I do update-alternatives to set it, It
shows that vim.tiny is currently the chosen default (visudo uses it)
How do I set $EDITOR if not with update-alternatives?
After contemplation, my reply is:
I use vi.
In my ~/.config/mc/mc.ext I have
include/editor
Open=%var{EDITOR:vi} %f
I don't find such a file.
I suppose I could create it and see what happens.
I tried, and I gkeep getting some error about a file error with that
file, because the structure of it has changed or I should copy the one
from /etc/mc (which I did).
But I'm confused where to put the above.
I see "include/editor"in several places.
When I figured to put it where I first see include/editor, I get the
complaint about the restructuring.
I put it elsehwere I get:
/usr/bin/sensible-editor: 25: /usr/bin/sensible-editor:
/usr/bin/vim.basic: not found
But I definitely have vim installed. I used it to edit the file in question.
Thanks,
Tony
