Greetings - When I first installed RH I had vi as the default editor .
I then installed other editors and somehow vim got symlinked to vi.
I dont mind using vim over vi, I just would like to be able to change it
if needed.
which vi
alias vi='vim'
/usr/bin/vim
vi actually resides in /bin/vi and If I call with the full path vim
still gets called
which vim
/usr/bin/vim
I dont know where this alias is set. Ive tried to reset it in my
.profile alias vi='/bin/vi'
This still calls vim
This seems to be set as a global alias or symlink. I want to define MY
editor! ;-)
?
TIA
bob
