Greetings, Emlio!

>>> The way I set the EDITOR var to nano is:
>>> $ EDITOR=nano;
>>> And if i type "EDITOR" nano editor is opened. But when I run crontab -e
>>> I get the crontab edited by vi(m) again.
>> $ EDITOR=nano crontab -e
>>
>> ?

> Yep, this worked!

Then export your variable in ~/.bashrc
