I want to keep it, originally, IIRC its name was "Edit", but later it was changed to $EDITOR because many users reported to me that they couldn't edit files.

I found that changing it to $EDITOR improved the situation a lot. When users see $EDITOR, they might wonder if they haven't set it themselves, or at least open the default configuration file to see what $EDITOR is. :/

BTW I also added a FAQ for it haha, https://yazi-rs.github.io/docs/faq#why-cant-edit
