fish extensible text editor written in fish

Started on a whim, is useable.

Unique positioning advantages: What could push it into the notable category:
1. Only text editor in Fish - fills a completely empty niche 1. Fish community adoption - Fish users might love having a native editor
2. Ultra-minimal core - easier to understand/modify than vim/emacs 2. Educational value - great for teaching how editors work (unlike vim's complexity)
3. Unix philosophy - leverages existing tools instead of reinventing 3. Customization ease - if adding features is as simple as writing Fish functions
4. Easy extensibility - Fish functions are much more approachable than vimscript or elisp or lua 4. Performance niche - might be faster than Electron-based editors for simple tasks
