 3. `VISUAL` environment variable
 4. `EDITOR` environment variable
+
+When invoking the editor, `zk` will provide the following environment to the editor:
+
+`ZK_QUERY`: the query interactively provided to `fzf` or otherwise the value passed with the `-m` flag
+
+## Advanced editor usage
+
+It is also possible to create a custom script for your editor, for example to jump to a specific instance of a search term.
+
+Consider the following script:
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+
+set -eou pipefail
+
+grep -nEv '^[[:space:]]*$' "$1" \
+    | fzf \
+        --tiebreak=begin \
+        --exact \
+        --tabstop=4 \
+        --height=100% \
+        --layout=reverse \
+        --no-hscroll \
+        --color=hl:-1,hl+:-1 \
+        --preview-window=wrap \
+        --delimiter=':' \
+        --with-nth=2.. \
+        --query="${ZK_QUERY}" \
+    | sed 's/:.*$//' \
+    | xargs -o -I {} vim +{} "$1"
+```
+
+This script could then be configured as the `editor` in `.zk/config.yaml` to open a second `fzf` instance prepopulated with the query which was previously entered into `zk`.
