Perforce changing the default editor

Question

I use perforce for my revision control, when I hit \'p4 change\' it always opens up the list on emacs, and we all know the pain of deleting text in it. How do i change it to ged

Answer 1

I had similar problem on my Windows system.
It always used to open clumsy notepad. I am more comfortable with TextPad, so to change default perforce editor, I made following changes: I opened System Properties and added new environment variable as following:

Name: `P4EDITOR` 
Value: `C:\Program Files (x86)\TextPad 4\TextPad.exe`

After that open a new CMD and there you go !!!
