Even better, use dolphin, type "sftp://user@host" into the address bar, and
get a GUI-fied look at (whatever). You can then use all of the KDE apps that
support the sftp/fish KIOSlaves to edit whatever, and kate/kwrite/gwenview all
should be able to do that, which should help. No idea what GNOME does for
this, though.

However, if you don't know how to use a terminal-based text editor
effectively, you need to learn. Every Unix-like system has vi on it (or is
supposed to), so if you learn vi, you can edit text on any Unix-like system.
This is really, really useful, unless you're going to spend all your time
working on only your own personal boxes where you can set everything up
exactly how you like it.
