The console editor to use when editing the kitty config file or similar tasks.
The default value of ``.`` means to use the environment variables :envvar:`VISUAL`
and :envvar:`EDITOR` in that order. Note that these environment variables have
to be set when kitty starts, so if they're only set in shell startup scripts, but
kitty is launched directly from your desktop, kitty will not see them. kitty does try
to read the values from the shell as well, but this process is not entirely robust since
there are a myriad different shells out there. In that case you're better off naming
your favorite editor here.
The terminal editor (such as ``vim`` or ``nano``) to use when editing the kitty
config file or similar tasks.
The default value of . means to use the environment variables :envvar:`VISUAL`
and :envvar:`EDITOR` in that order. If these variables aren't set, kitty will
run your shell (``$SHELL -l -c env``) to see if your shell config files set
:envvar:`VISUAL` or :envvar:`EDITOR`. If that doesn't work, kitty will cycle
through various known editors (``vim``, ``emacs``, etc) and take the first one
that exists on your system.
