Check for $SSH_CONNECTION in the environment and set MP_EDITOR to "open -a TextWrangler" (or maybe "open -t") or "vi" accordingly. Your notion of handling ssh to another machine and back to the Mac likely won't work, because Apple's sshd creates a session that is distinct from the GUI session and will return permission errors if you try to access the GUI from it. (There *may* be ways around this. There used to be, but Apple has several times tightened their GUI isolation over the years and I have no idea if there is a current way to evade it, or whether such evasion will continue to work in e.g. Sierra or future macOS releases.) -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allber...@gmail.com ballb...@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
