Metasploit meterpreter session editing files with Vi editor

Question

In meterpreter session after exploiting a system, I wanted to edit a .txt file within meterpreter session opened. I used command:

meterpreter > edit mypasswords.txt

After that, it opened the Vi editor for editing but I really do not like Vi editor at all. I want to know that if there is a way of changing meterpreter' default editor(Vi) to Nano.

IIRC it uses your default editor. You can change your default editor to nano by adding or modifying the following lines in your ~/.profile file:

EDITOR=nano
VISUAL=$EDITOR
export EDITOR VISUAL
