Not sure what you mean here. Have you tried restricting the use of EDITOR w/o recompiling sudo: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sudo#Using_visudo # Defaults specification # Reset environment by default Defaults env_reset # Set default EDITOR to vim, and do not allow visudo to use EDITOR/VISUAL.
