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 some default handling of EDITOR being "vi" - it transforms that automatically to do "xterm -e vi". That doesn't happen if EDITOR is set to "vim" though. So you either need to set EDITOR to "xterm -e vim" or "gvim" (if you have that available) - that is vim in a standalone window.

    Virtuoso doesn't really have any way of knowing whether your editor works in a standalone window (such as emacs, nedit, gvim, gedit), or runs in a terminal (vi, vim, ex, nano etc). So you have to tell it - we just have a default mapping built in to handle EDITOR/editor being "vi".

    Regards,

    Andrew.
