# Setting your default editor
`zk` is not a text editor. Instead, it is designed to interface with your favorite editor to write your notes.
You can customize which editor to use either from the [configuration file](config.md) or environment variables. In order of precedence, `zk` will use:
1. `ZK_EDITOR` environment variable
2. `editor` configuration property
```toml
[tool]
editor = "vim"
```
3. `VISUAL` environment variable
4. `EDITOR` environment variable
