ADEXL switch default ocean script editor

Tobben24

Hi,

When I want to edit an oscean script in ADEXL Setup tab(E button), the script is opened in emacs. How can I change this to another program, ie. vim?

  • There is a SKILL variable called editor which is seeded from the UNIX environment variable $EDITOR which sets the editor used.

    Check in the CIW what the value of editor is. Then you can do

    editor="nedit"

    for example. This could go in your .cdsinit.

    Something must be setting either $EDITOR or editor, because emacs is not the default... (vi is - because it is guaranteed to be there, whether you like it or not - I don't want to start an editor war!)

    Regards,

    Andrew.
