+### Edit methods
+
+You can use `edit-method Class#method` or `edit-method my_method`
+(if the method is in scope) to open a method for editing directly in
+your favorite editor. Pry has knowledge of a few different editors and
+will attempt to open the file at the line the method is defined.
+
+You can set the editor to use by assigning to the `Pry.editor=`
+accessor. `Pry.editor` will default to `$EDITOR` or failing that will
+use `nano` as the backup default. The file that is edited will be
+automatically reloaded after exiting the editor - reloading can be
+suppressed by passing the --no-reload option to `edit-method`
+
+In the example below we will set our default editor to "emacsclient"
+and open the `Pry#repl` method for editing:
+
+    pry(main)> Pry.editor = "emacsclient"
+    pry(main)> edit-method Pry#repl
