tui: e edits the file in $EDITOR, x opens it with the system - #42

The viewer shows what it can; for the rest the answer is the program the system already has. `e` opens the file under the cursor in $VISUAL, then $EDITOR, then vim/nvim/nano/vi — a remote file is edited on the server over `ssh -t` with the editor the server has. `x` hands a file to the desktop opener when there is a desktop, or to a player (mpv, ffplay…) or a terminal image viewer (chafa, timg…) when there is not, and says what to install when nothing fits. Under tmux the program gets a window of its own and the browser stays up beside it; without tmux the browser hands the terminal over, the way vim's :sh does, and starts again with every pane where it was and the open document re-read. Modelled on moshcode's /shell and /new. The bytes outrank the name for `x`: code.ts is TypeScript, not an MPEG transport stream, and driving the built binary in tmux is where ffplay was handed a source file.

What
eopens the file under the cursor in the system editor;xopens it with whatever the system opens it with. Both work from the panes and from the viewer, and both sit in the footer and the help.$VISUAL, then$EDITOR, then the first of vim, nvim, nano, vi on PATH. A remote file is edited on the server overssh -t(port, key and jump host carried over) with the editor the server has, so nothing is downloaded or uploaded back.code.tsis never sent to a player.:shdoes, and comes back with every pane where it was and the open document re-read. Modelled on moshcode's/shelland/new.Tests
18 new tests: the editor chain, local and remote edit commands (quoting included), media routing by desktop and by installed program, the text-over-name rule, the tmux and hand-off paths through a fake launcher, coming back from a hand-off, and the footer caps. 687 tests pass repo-wide; typecheck is clean. The built binary was driven both inside a private tmux server (a
code.tswindow opened with vim in it) and outside tmux (vim took the terminal,:qbrought the browser back).🤖 Generated with Claude Code
