use:

SQL> define _editor=vi

(That's "define space underscore editor nospace equals nospace vi")

You can also create a file called login.sql in the directory from where you normally run sql plus (it's just a text file). Stick that same line in this document, and vi will be set as your default editor every time you run sqlplus without further effort on your part.

In ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus there's a file called glogin.sql which does the same thing on a global basis -all users pick up that file's settings, wherever they call it from.
