                          Currently, ranger will only open text files with nano, and I want it to open them with vim.

As per the [Arch Wiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ranger#Installation)  I have tried adding

    has xdg-open, flag f = xdg-open "$1"
    ext txt = vim "$@"

to rifle.conf, but that didn't work.
