Add a global keybinding for editing the config file - #5728
Merged
Conversation
OpenFile (`o`) is for opening a file as if it was double-clicked in Finder/Explorer; this is useful for binary files like PNGs, but never for text files. You want to edit them, and there's `e` for that.
The "edit config file" command is about to gain a second, global keybinding alongside the existing status-panel one. Moving its body into an action struct (the convention GlobalController already follows for all its handlers) lets both controllers delegate to one implementation.
The status panel already binds the universal edit key to "edit config file", but that's only reachable while the status panel is focused. Add a dedicated global binding (alt+shift+c) so the config file can be opened from anywhere.
