I really don’t understand why when I click on a .txt file while running PcManFM it opens with notepad a WinDoze application running under wine. Does it imply that there are no Linux simple text editors?
Any suggestions on getting rid of it would be appreciated.
There’s probably a setting for that.
In KDE, the default is “kate”, but there is a setting to change that.
I mostly use the unix shell as my file manager, so I don’t try changing it. But “vi” (really “vim”) is my preferred text editor.
I’m sure there must be but I haven’t found it yet. It’s still a brand new OS version for me. As for vim, while I like working in a console I really don’t feel like learning vi’s complicated commands. I tend to use nano.

of help?
Many thanks. A lot of reading, but excellent result.
Hi
Just add to your shell source eg ~/.bashrc
export EDITOR='nano'
export VISUAL='nano'
Save and source it…
. .bashrc
IMO the following article describes what you want, which is to disable/remove the WINE file associations allowing your default PCManFM file associations to work.
