Adding $EDITOR check for open

[ScriptAlchemist]

Allowing for users to set the $EDITOR variable and use it to open a file instead of the default. I don't know zig and I'm testing this out. I just wanted to allow others to look at it as well.

This should solve #2504

Still figuring out the builds at the moment to really test out better

Hi, does this pr open $EDITOR in another ghostty window?

I believe that it's like running nvim ./filepath.txt so it would be in the current buffer screen

I have not successfully built this on mac. I'm not trying that hard on the weekend. It failed when I tried. I'm posting this to make it public

Until I fix the build this does not work

I'll suggest opening a new window and run $EDITOR there, because the current shell may have running process ;)

This is the wrong approach to opening up a new Ghostty window and running $EDITOR $config. I realize that this is something that people really want but this really needs to wait for some of the API work for this to work properly.

Okay, @jcollie then just close this pr out. It doesn't even build right now. So obviously this isn't the correct method. I don't know zig and I haven't spend enough time to figure it out. Well enough apparently.

I just found the file that does the thing I want. Then was going to add the feature that I wanted. Instead of just complaining, but figured having it more public here would give me better insight.

I really just want it to open in place like everything else that works in the terminal. But I do understand the want for a new window
