The console editor to use when editing the kitty config file or similar tasks. A
value of . means to use the environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR in that

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