For anyone who is not aware, alias is not the solution you're looking for.

You are much better off setting some environment variables, VISUAL or EDITOR, so that less works correctly when you hit the 'v' key.

Your shell has to be involved for an alias to work, so anything that launches an editor for you, doesn't use an alias.

@tcely @clerie I appreciated it. He's just trying to be helpful to anyone reading by sharing highly relevant information -no assumptions about whether or not the op knows what he shared are made.
