Hi all,
I apologize in advance if this is a bit off-topic. Using Ubuntu 8.04, any
time I double-click on a text file, gedit opens up. It seems that it is
set as my default text editor. How do I change it? I'd like to use GVim as
I like it better. So, what's the process to change default editors in
Gnome?

Thanks in advance.

Choose a file that causes Gedit to be called. Right click the file
and click on Open with and it will now be Gedit. Reset it to Gvim and
you will be set. Now...why anyone wants vim as an editor is beyond me :-)

Karl-

Thanks. I do like Gedit; however, GVim suits my needs as it is powerful
and fast and I can customize it to suit my needs.
