Run "sudo visudo" and you get this:
~ $ sudo visudo
visudo: no editor found (editor path = /bin/nano)
~ $ env | grep -i edit
EDITOR=/usr/bin/vim
You have two options:
1. Tell sudo to preserve the EDITOR variable in /etc/sudoers:
Defaults env_keep += "EDITOR VISUAL PAGER"
Otherwise sudo will ignore your environment and use the defaults for the
new user.
2. Change the default editor on your system by putting something in
/etc/env.d:
apollo ~ # cat /etc/env.d/99editor
EDITOR="vim"
