How to set the dedfault editor on linux.
in my case i want to set vim as default editor

• sudo update-alternatives –config editor

  davide@vanesio:~$ sudo update-alternatives --config editor
  There are 4 choices for the alternative editor (providing /usr/bin/editor).
  
    Selection    Path                Priority   Status
  ------------------------------------------------------------
  * 0            /bin/nano            40        auto mode
    1            /bin/ed             -100       manual mode
    2            /bin/nano            40        manual mode
    3            /usr/bin/vim.basic   30        manual mode
    4            /usr/bin/vim.tiny    15        manual mode
  
  Press <enter> to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number: 3       
  update-alternatives: using /usr/bin/vim.basic to provide /usr/bin/editor (editor) in manual mode
