Hello all:
I did this when I installed current system:
[code]
eselect editor set vim
eselect vi set vim
eselect visual set vim
[/b]
to set variables in my system.
Recently I was thinking about replacing vim with helix
But none of eselect modules can list out helix
Can we implement this? (I am very willing to do this myself but I am just a Java guy,playing with Spring.....)

Best to stick to the list given in virtual/editor ebuild, namely:
Code:

# Add a package to RDEPEND only if the editor:
# - can edit ordinary text files,
# - works on the console,
# - is a "display" or "visual" editor (e.g., using ncurses).

RDEPEND="|| (
   app-editors/nano
   app-editors/dav
   app-editors/e3
   app-editors/ee
   app-editors/emacs:*
   app-editors/emact
   app-editors/ersatz-emacs
   app-editors/fe
   app-editors/helix
   app-editors/jasspa-microemacs
   app-editors/jed
   app-editors/joe
   app-editors/jove
   app-editors/kakoune

   app-editors/zile
   app-misc/mc[edit]
   dev-lisp/cmucl
   mail-client/alpine[-onlyalpine]
)"

# Packages outside app-editors providing an editor:
#   app-misc/mc: mcedit (#62643)

Set and export EDITOR variable in your shell profile.
Personally I think eselect tool overcomplicates a simple task.
