+Edit files in new kitty windows even over SSH

+
+The :command:`edit-in-kitty` command allows you to seamlessly edit files
+in your default :opt:`editor` in new kitty windows. This works even over
+SSH (if you use the :doc:`ssh kitten <kittens/ssh>`), allowing you
+to easily edit remote files in your local editor with all its bells and
+whistles.
+
+The :command:`edit-in-kitty` command takes almost all the same arguments as the
+:doc:`launch <launch>` command, so you can open a new tab instead or a new OS
+window, etc. Not all arguments are supported, see the discussion in the
+:ref:`clone_shell` section above.
+
+In order to avoid remote code execution, kitty will only execute the configured
+editor and pass the file path to edit to it.
