Use a single wrapper script to open a file in vscode or cursor
You can just so export EDITOR="vscode_wrapper -w" and expect it to work everywhere.

| # VSCode/Cursor Universal CLI Wrapper | |
| # | |
| # Purpose: | |
| # Provides a unified 'code' or 'cursor' command that works correctly in both | |
| # local and Remote SSH environments. | |
| # | |
| # How it works: | |
| # - Detects the environment by examining the VSCODE_GIT_ASKPASS_NODE variable | |
| # - For Remote SSH sessions (.vscode-server or .cursor-server in path): | |
| # Uses the special "remote CLI" that communicates back to your local editor | |
| # window instead of trying to launch an editor on the remote machine | |
| # - For local sessions (.app in path): | |
| # Uses the regular system binary from PATH | |
| # - When VSCODE_GIT_ASKPASS_NODE is not set (fallback mode): | |
| # Uses VSCODE_WRAPPER_DEFAULT if set, otherwise searches PATH for 'code' | |
| # then 'cursor' and uses whichever is found | |
| # - Auto-detects whether you're using VSCode or Cursor and invokes the | |
| # appropriate binary | |
