How dare you use a text editor because it's easy to use

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I think you mean "$EDITOR". Gotta have that variable expansion.
Not necessarily! I always run
ln -s '/usr/bin/$EDITOR' $(which $EDITOR)
after a fresh install, so I have a valid executable on the path called$EDITOR
.Of course, then I have to make sure to add
export EDITOR=\$EDITOR
to my.bashrc
. (Obviously.)Well,.that's one way to solve the problem of not expanding your editor var correctly...
