Also, is there any way for EDITOR to be dynamic, so that when I am on the actual machine I want to use mate as my editor, but if I am over ssh, I want to use a terminal based editor. Is that just a matter of wrapping the default in a condition that checks where I am at?

I would also be interested in knowing how to set that up. I've wanted this many times but never really looked into what I would need to do.

If you always use ssh for remote logins then you can test for the existence of the SSH_CLIENT environment variable. It doesn't exist when you're logged in locally.
