       select-editor


DESCRIPTION

       select-editor provides a coherent mechanism for selecting and storing a preferred sensible-editor on a per-user basis.  It
       lists  the  available editors on a system and interactively prompts the user to select one.  The results are stored as SE‐
       LECTED_EDITOR variable in ~/.selected_editor, which is sourced and used by sensible-editor command.  SELECTED_EDITOR vari‐
       able is overridden by the VISUAL and EDITOR environment variables.
