NAME
       select-editor - select your default sensible-editor from all installed editors

SYNOPSIS
       select-editor

DESCRIPTION
       select-editor  provides  a coherent mechanism for selecting and storing a preferred sensi‐
       ble-editor on a per-user basis.  It lists the available editors on a system  and  interac‐
       tively  prompts  the  user  to  select  one.  The results are stored as SELECTED_EDITOR in
       ~/.selected_editor, which is sourced and  used  by  sensible-editor.   SELECTED_EDITOR  is
       overridden by the VISUAL and EDITOR environment variables.
