DESCRIPTION

select-editor provides a coherent mechanism for selecting and storing a preferred sensible-editor on a per-user basis.

The results are stored as SELECTED_EDITOR variable in ~/.selected_editor, which is sourced and used by sensible-editor command. SELECTED_EDITOR variable is overridden by the VISUAL and EDITOR environment variables.
