Description
Currently the user needs to add a list of file extensions to /boot/config/editor.cfg. For example "txt" to open "file.txt" with the text editor.
It would be better to depend on the mime type of the file, so the editor.cfg becomes obsolete.

Research direction
Start by tracing the File Manager's current file-extension matching and its handling of /boot/config/editor.cfg. Determine where MIME types can be used instead, then verify that files open with the appropriate editor without requiring editor.cfg entries.
