packer refuses to ackowledge "export EDITOR="nano""
in my desperation, i've tried everywhere i can think of
/etc/bash.bashrc
/etc/skel/.bash_profile
/etc/skel/.bashrc
~/.bashrc
~/.bash_profile
/etc/profile
they all now have:
export EDITOR="nano"
(overkill much?)
(it shouldnt make any difference whether nano has quotation marks around it, should it?)
i've checked nano is installed. i've reinstalled packer too.
and yet still, every time i need to edit a PKGBLD, packer gives me a vi interface. :/
i dont get it... where did i go wrong?
(i've already had the joke "using nano" :p)
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=697005 made it all seem so easy... and it should have been!
... tempted to see what happens if i remove vi. XD

Have you sourced that files?
. ~/.bashrc
If nothing changed, type
export EDITOR="nano"
and press enter - does it work?
It's a bad idea to directly modify files that are in /etc/skel - they act as templates so they should be as vanilla as possible. The system ignores them by default so your changes won't do a thing.
