How to enable gedit editor in midnight commander?

Question

how can set gedit to be default editor in mc? When I hit F4, gedit should be used rather than mc's default editor.

Set your EDITOR environment variable to gedit and go into mc's options and disable the internal editor.

Thanks! that worked. Do you happen to know how to use gedit also for VIEWING? – user36028 Aug 21 '10 at 11:03

As for the viewer, mc will use the one specified by the PAGER variable (“less” on my OS)
