Currently, ranger will only open text files with nano, and I want it to open them with vim.
As per the Arch Wiki I have tried adding
has xdg-open, flag f = xdg-open "$1"
ext txt = vim "$@"
to rifle.conf, but that didn't work.
vim ranger

I figured it out.
If you are using BASH, add the following to your .bashrc :
VISUAL=vim; export VISUAL EDITOR=vim; export EDITOR
otherwise, follow these instructions
