Via the GUI, click Tools/Options/General/Advanced and then in the
field marked "Text edit command" you'll find the default
"sensible-editor '%s' &".  Replace "sensible-editor" with the command
of your choice.  Leave the "'%s'" and ampersand; they're to receive
the filename and run in the background, respectively.

Via the options file, you can set the General.TextEditor variable
