Check  fcron configure.in. Configure get editor from enviroment parameter
EDITOR it not set by default vi.

--with-editor=/bin/nano would do fine. I already CC'd bsd@ on the bug

This solution used in  sudo. But  with fcron we need  set DEPEND
app-editors/nano instead virtual/editor

If this is really too much trouble we could perhaps have it default to
> --with-editor="$(which less)"? ;-)


it's really much trouble. Without editor fcron ebuild will broken.
