In the latest version of Cadence's ADE, it seems that it is now ignoring the EDITOR environment variable and using a built-in text editor when it comes time to either display or edit text views of design object.

For a long time user of vim, this is nothing short of a nightmare.

Does anybody know how to override this behavior and allow me to use the editor of my choice?

Using your suggestion, I also found that I could just put the following in my ~/.cdsenv file (they are equivalent):
Code:

textedit useExternalEditor boolean t
