The console editor to use when editing the kitty config file or similar tasks. A

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

kitty is launched directly from your desktop, kitty will not see them. In
that case you're better off naming your favorite editor here.
