Subject: [PATCH 1/4] Remove the "Open config file" command

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.

Subject: [PATCH 3/4] Extract editConfig into a shared EditConfigAction

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.

Subject: [PATCH 4/4] Add a global keybinding for editing the config file

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.
