I'm a bit confused by the patch intent and the above statement: do I
read a misplaced "not"? Did you perhaps mean that in your system $EDITOR
*is* a visual editor? Probably my fault I'm not understanding :-)



Aside this detail, your patch made me notice that *pass* assumes "vi" as
a default editor:



+EDITOR=${VISUAL:-${EDITOR:-vi}}



I think that in 99% of cases this is true, but in my experience a fresh
installed linux box often only has "nano" available and vi/vim should be
manually installed. I'm wondering if it makes sense to change this
assumption.
