Just run update-alternatives --all and you can set for a lot of things the default programs. You can even give the exact group name for your problem if you know the name for it. (I do not know this ;-) so I can not tell you). See "man update-alternatives" for much much much more info. Another way to solve your problem would be to setup an alias in your .bashrc file: alias virsh='EDITOR=/usr/bin/nano virsh' And as it is Unix/linux there are millions of other ways to solve this :-).
