libvirt users - Dec 2016 - how to modified virsh's editor forever?

Hi:

     when I modify VM's xml file,the editor is VI,how to set to other 
editor forever?

     Now I can change the editor to VIM from VI with setting environment 
EDITOR=$my-favorite-editor,
     but after rebooting,it is VI again.

thanks

Hello dw,

Can you plz try this method and check if it works:

Set the preferred editor  in /etc/environment file (to define it globally)
and then restart the session.
