[SOLVED] gvim 8 not working with bl-text-editor

Hello,

I have built a version of vim/gvim 8 and want to use it as my default editor. I tried to update the alternatives using the menu (Menu|System|Update Debian Alternatives) but had no success. Any idea about how to get this working? I know it works when installing from the package repositories.

Thanks,

Jacob

Gah... Figured it out. Had to set the alternative to bl-gvim.

sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/bl-text-editor bl-text-editor /usr/bin/bl-gvim 1
sudo update-alternatives --set bl-text-editor /usr/bin/bl-gvim
