      <br>
          Thanks for your help.<br>
      <br>
          Your answer can work.<br>
          What I did:<br>
              1.     added EDITOR=vim to /etc/environment<br>
              2.    source /etc/environment<br>
              3.    restart the session<br>
      <br>
      <br>
          In Ubuntu/Debian,also could run select-editor to change the
      editor of virsh edit.<br>
      <br>
          Thanks,<br>
          dw<br>

            <br>
                Now I can change the editor to VIM from VI with setting
