Fedora to use Nano editor by default |
 |
The Fedora distribution does not currently set a default text editor, leaving which editor to use up to either the user or whichever program is being run. This can result in some awkward moments when a tool, such as git needs to pick a default editor for us when none is provided. Ben Cotton explains: "Fedora does not currently have a default terminal text editor, because the $EDITOR environment variable is unset by default. But a common scenario where users wind up in a terminal text editor is when using 'git commit'. By default, git picks vi. You need to spend time learning how to use it, for even basic editing tasks. This increases the barrier to entry for those who are switching to Fedora and don't know how to use vi." The proposal suggests making Nano the default terminal editor as it is relatively straight forward to use and offers on-screen prompts.
