Add an "Open in External Editor" menu item with a default Cmd+E shortcut. The editor application and shortcut are fully configurable in Settings. No editor is pre-configured — on first use the user is prompted to select one. Includes a custom shortcut recorder with validation against reserved system shortcuts and unit tests for the settings store. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
