The behavior is mostly congruent with other programs, for example less(1) probably also falls back to vi(1) on your system if you press v.

  I should clarify, I'm using Windows, which normally doesn't have either of those, except for maybe cygwin or WSL.

  TIL, had no idea about that `less` starts an editor on `v`.
