When I run
sudo vipw or sudo vigr, it uses nano as the default editor. I've already
used update-alternatives to select vim as my default editor, but this

I have to do
sudo EDITOR=vim vipw
How can I make vim the default editor for vipw/vigr. Or how can I set the
EDITOR variable when I use sudo automatically?
Try 'sudo select-editor'
