Hi Witold,
>Please do not do that. Please set it to 40 maybe.
this is from the time when jupp was so obscure that the
assumption is that, when you install it, you want to
actively use it.
40 is too low anyway. Looking at the list you provided,
with other obscure editors, and especially at…
Selection Path Priority Status
------------------------------------------------------------
3 /usr/bin/joe 70 manual mode
… I think it must be larger than 70 in any case.
And in this case, especially given we’re in the freeze,
I don’t think it’s worth changing this at this point and
upsetting other users’ systems. The priority has been 99
for 17 years already with nobody complaining, and I would
prefer to not break existing installations that rely on it.
You can use update-alternatives, as you rightly discovered,
to set the default (and just export EDITOR and/or VISUAL as
normal on Unix).
bye,
