Hello Nitesh,

    Thanks for your help.

    Your answer can work.
    What I did:
        1.     added EDITOR=vim to /etc/environment
        2.    source /etc/environment
        3.    restart the session

    In Ubuntu/Debian,also could run select-editor to change the editor of virsh edit.

    Thanks,
    dw

Hello dw,

Can you plz try this method and check if it works:

Set the preferred editor in /etc/environment file (to define it globally) and then restart the session.

Hi:

when I modify VM's xml file,the editor is VI,how to set to other editor forever?

Now I can change the editor to VIM from VI with setting environment EDITOR=$my-favorite-editor,
but after rebooting,it is VI again.

thanks
