Can I use nano exclusively in lf?

[Damglador]

I know that lf uses xdg to open files, but for ssh and generally for not having to leave a terminal to edit one line I want lf to open text files with nano, without changing global xdg default. Is it possible?

Yes, you need to override the open command. This is an example of how it should look like:

cmd open ${{
	type="$(file --mime-type "$f" -b)"

	case "$type" in
		text/*) nano "$f" ;;
		*) for f in $fx; do setsid "$OPENER" "$f" >/dev/null 2>&1 & done ;;
	esac
}}
