i3-sensible-editor − launches $EDITOR with fallbacks
i3−sensible−editor [arguments]
i3−sensible−editor is used by i3−nagbar(1) when you click on the edit button.
It tries to start one of the following (in that order):
• $VISUAL
• $EDITOR
• nano
• nvim
• vim
• vi
• emacs
• pico
• qe
• mg
• jed
• gedit
• mcedit
• gvim
Please don’t complain about the order: If the user has any preference, they will have $VISUAL or $EDITOR set.
