remote-edit.nvim

Edit remote files via SSH with fzf-lua integration.

Requirements

• Neovim >= 0.10
• fzf-lua
• SSH configured in ~/.ssh/config

Installation

lazy.nvim

return {
  "ultimatile/remote-edit.nvim",
  dependencies = { "ibhagwan/fzf-lua" },
  opts = {},
}

Usage

:Redit           " Select host from ~/.ssh/config
:Redit hostname  " Connect to specified host directly

Select a host from your SSH config, then browse and edit files.

Keymaps (in fzf picker)

Key	Action
<C-h> (default)	Show/hide dotfiles

Dotfiles are hidden by default. Press <C-h> in the fzf picker to toggle visibility.

Configuration

opts = {
  keymaps = {
    toggle_hidden = "<C-h>",  -- change dotfile toggle key
  },
}

Troubleshooting

If you see scp: Received message too long or netrw: shell signalled an error, your remote shell may be producing output in non-interactive sessions.

Try adding this to the top of your remote ~/.bashrc:

[[ $- != *i* ]] && return

This ensures .bashrc exits early for non-interactive sessions (like scp/sftp).
