Description James Nelson 2015-08-21 11:13:44 MDT

Defaults editor = "/usr/bin/nano:/usr/bin/vim"

Currently this would execute vim first and then nano if vim couldn't be found. My EDITOR, SUDO_EDITOR, and VISUAL environment variables are undefined. If I define one of those, it correctly uses what I defined the variable with.
