Terminal opens neovim instead of vim

Question

I use Ubuntu with the zsh shell, and when I try to open vim with the vi or vim command it opens neovim instead. I tried using the original bash shell, but it still didn't work. I tried sudo update-alternatives --config vi but it didn't work either.

When you installed neovim, it may have inserted itself as the preferred alternate in the alternatives list - run the command update-alternatives --display vim to check — steeldriver, Mar 26 '23 at 12:21

Try by using update-alternatives that let you choose which command to run among the alternatives:

sudo update-alternatives --config vi
