Changing the pref to text_editor=xdg-open (after closing zim) has no effect. From the command line, using xdg-open on a .txt file does launch gvim, so the mime setting should be good. Setting the pref to the full path of vim also does not solve it. Other ideas?

(I believe it is Thunar on XFCE) If that does not help, just edit ~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list and add a line like: text/plain=gvim.desktop That should turn gvim the default text editor for any application using the XDG standards.
