Overwrite the default editor? #46

Closed jankatins closed 6 years ago

jankatins commented 6 years ago

I've both vim and nano installed but want nano to be the default editor. I tried to do this in a var file:

console_preferred_editors:
  - '/bin/nano'

But it seems this has not the desired effect that this is put in the first place of the list. Is there any way to set the default editor apart from removing the earlier editors in the default list? If not: would it be possible to add such a way?

Agreed, the current mechanism is not flexible enough and will be redesigned in the future.

Just a heads up - DebOps development is now done in the DebOps monorepo, you might want to consider switching over to it.

Thanks for the info, still a bit new how all of debops works together...
