Command Line - Set your default editor for things like crontab, visudo, etc...
One thing I hate is going in to edit a crontab or run visudo and being forced to use pico instead of my text editor of choice (vim). Here’s how to change the default editor for your system..
Open up /etc/bashrc in your favorite editor and look for the lines:
export EDITOR="pico" export VISUAL="pico"
Now, change it to the one you’d like to use for tools like crontab or visudo:
export EDITOR="vim" export VISUAL="vim"
You’ll have to log out then back in, but now the default editor on your system is of your choosing.
