Set default editor to vim. #1246

Open riban-bw opened 2 weeks ago

riban-bw commented 2 weeks ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The default text editor in Debain Bookworm seems to be joe which is unfamiliar (to me) and so, when making a git commit I have to first find out what editor is in use (by logging in with a different session and working it out) then look up on the internet how to save and exit (ctrl+k, x).

Describe the solution you'd like I would prefer the default editor be vim.

Describe alternatives you've considered Educate users on how to use the new, default editor, joe. Select another default editor that more people are familiary with, e.g. nano.

Additional context I appreciate this is personal choice. I recommend the core devs agree on what the default editor should be. To change default editor, update-alternatives --config editor then select 8, enter. This can probably be done simply by replacing the symlink /etc/alternatives/editor ->/usr/bin/vim.

Choice is a wonderful thing.
