Hi,

Has there ever been discussion about if and how to let `port edit` invoke a 
different editor when you're working locally vs. over SSH?

I realise this could theoretically be handled by setting a different MP_EDITOR 
value in your shell's .*profile/.*rc file but I cannot think of a reliable way 
to detect local vs. remote access right now, esp. not one that will distinguish 
between local "aqua vs non aqua" sessions. And to make things yet more complex: 
ssh to a remote host and from there back to a Mac, all from within an Aqua 
session, and you can still do things like `open -e` to edit a file in TextEdit.
