Well, virsh just starts an $EDITOR. Set it up properly
and you're
good to go ;)

thanks,
but more persistent config, eg. tab's width, etc.

That's up to you and your $EDITOR settings. virsh is just spawning
whatever editor you told it to (and only falling back to vi if you
didn't specify anything), and how you customize your editor is outside
the realm of what virsh is responsible for.

ok, my bad, was looking at vim that I had system-wide
tweaked and was wondering why virsh does not honour them,
but I should see vi instead.
thanks

Then run:
EDITOR=vim virsh edit $dom
to use vim as your editor, with your vim customizations. Or even add an
export of EDITOR to your shell startup files.
