Description

Ctrl+q doesn't exit file picker (it probably should immediately close the process?)

steps to reproduce:

  1. edit .
  2. Ctrl+q

ps. im aware its possible to press esc then quit after, but why not allow quitting straight from the file picker?

tested on Edit v2.0.0

Reproduce the issue by running edit . and pressing Ctrl+q while the file picker is open. Start by tracing the file-picker input handling and existing quit behavior; done means Ctrl+q exits directly from the picker, with a regression test covering the shortcut.
