Description

I noticed the default command to reveal the HEX or BIN file doesn't work with the fish shell. There is a Stack Overflow question about this: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/704534/fish-shell-why-does-file-which-command-work-in-zsh-and-bash-but-not-fish

POSIX standards recommend not using backticks.... https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/xrat/V4_xcu_chap02.html#tag_23_02_06_03

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating the default reveal command in the extension's JavaScript sources and reproduce it under fish, comparing its behavior with bash and zsh and reviewing the linked shell reference. Done means the command reveals HEX or BIN files in fish without regressing other supported shells.
