Hi! I'm setting up my Gentoo system and I found a problem with eselect editor, this is something that also happened with my last install, eselect editor doesn't show neither nvim or vi (which is actually nvim with eselect vi) as a available editor, while vim, when it's installed of course, shows up fine.
Has anyone experienced something similar?
Thanks in advance! |

The default list is EDITOR_LIST="nano emacs vim"
However, since this supports "free form" entry, you may pass a command or full path to 'eselect editor set' to take advantage of any editor beyond this list that exists on a system. |

Thanks for the reply! Should I report this to the devs if I manage to get nvim to appear as a option? Free form is nice, but it appearing as a default option would be better I believe |
