Yes. one can change the editor by exporting like:

export EDITOR=vi

do this in /etc/mercurial/hgrc file for system wide effect.

The hg man page has several different options, depending on whether you want the \
setting to only apply to mercurial or to other tools as well.  Look for \
&quot;editor&quot;.<br> You probably have one of the EDITOR or VISUAL environment \
variables set.<br> <font color="#888888"><br>
