I actually want to change the default text editor on my Ubuntu 12.04 from nano to Geany. When I used this code:
update-alternatives --config editor
.. I don't see Geany in the list.
So to add Geany, this is supposed to work right?
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/geany geany /usr/bin/geany 10
Also, on a side note, can you tell me if you would personally suggest me to change the default editor from nano to Geany, and why?
