    Does it give alternative to sudo -e (sudoedit) too?

      As the other comment said, no. But I’ve had the idea and will to at some point write a edit script (that I can just set EDITOR= to) that would just choose one of the first common editors. That could in theory have a -0 option to run as root (there also probably looking through run0, doas, sudo and su). Not the editor, but doing the editing on a temp file and then copying with root

      Out of the box no. But it would be easy to implement if you don’t need very complex rules. (I don’t actually know how permissions work for sudoedit.)
