Kitty opening file in non privilge esc version?

[Stetsed]

Describe the bug
I am using edit-in-kitty in my script which I have set up to first check if the file exists, if not it touches the file with either sudo or not sudo depending on if the area is writable. It then if it's not writeable then it opens with the command "sudo edit-in-kitty (file)", however what I'm noticing is that when I'm not in an SSH session it doesn't open it in an escalated privileve which means when I try to edit files which require privilge it opens in read only. I'm using neovim as my editor.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Find a file that requires sudo to edit
2. use "sudo kitten edit-in-kitty (file)" outside of an SSH session
3. It will open the file in a normal editor not with privilges escalated

Ctrl+Shift+F6 doesn't seem to output anything

[Stetsed]

function nano --description 'Edit File with sudo if needed'
    set file $argv[1]
    if test ! -e $file
        echo "$file does not exist"
    else if test -w $file
        kitten edit-in-kitty $argv
    else
        sudo kitten edit-in-kitty $argv
    end
end

This is the script I'm using btw, and even manually doing sudo kitten edit-in-kitty doesn't work

yes, as a performance optimisation for local files, edit-in-kitty will
have kitty operate directly on the local file, instead of transmitting
the file data back and forth. And kitty is obviously not running with
sudo.

You should instead in your script use sudo to change the file permissions, edit it,
once edited reset the permissions. Or you a temp file to edit and rename
after.
