Or just use visudo which does it all without user's intervention.

visudo, and this is a hint, *does* allow user to invoke both X- and
Wayland-based text editors, given the appropriate amount of configuration.

And this is the rightest (sp?) way there is, because allowing user to run
root-powered file manager is a deviation from the said way.
