What is the "Default Editor" on Fedora?

[AmyGilhespy]

I can't for the life of me get it to open any editor when I click the Edit Code button. I don't know what editor it's using but it's not any of the one I set in my system. I tried:

• Setting the default editor with xdg-mime
• Setting the default editor in Nautilus
• Setting EDITOR and VISUAL environment variables
• I tried alternatives but that seems to not be the way to do things on Fedora and I couldn't get it to let me set a default editor

I think I tried some other things too but I can't remember what all i tried.

I'm currently using this block of code here to open file on Linux.

The first thing it tries is to use xdg-open, so in this case you can just configure xdg-open such that it opens the file in your preferred editor.
