Package: less Version: 409-1
Hello, The man page for less contains: v Invokes an editor to edit the current file being viewed. The editor is taken from the environment variable VISUAL if defined, or EDITOR if VISUAL is not defined, or defaults to "vi" if nei- ther VISUAL nor EDITOR is defined. See also the discussion of LESSEDIT under the section on PROMPTS below. On my system: $ export | egrep "EDITOR|VISUAL" Returns nothing, yet my editor defaults to nano. More precisely, my editor defaults to /etc/alternatives/editor, which I have now changed to vim, so I'm happy. Either this behaviour should be changed to be in line with the man page or the man page should be changed to be in line with the behaviour. Thank you Martin Lee
