Today I accidentally ran f2 in ipython to discover that it opens your $EDITOR! I use this feature quite often in zsh, it is bound to <c-e> for me, and since I have my environment variable EDITOR set to nvim it opens nvim when I hit <c-e>. Today I discovered that Ipython has this bound to F2. If you know how to set it to <c-e> let me know I’ve tried, a lot.

```
export EDITOR=nvim
ipython
<F2>
```

better yet add export EDITOR=nvim to your .zshrc

```
# ~/.zshrc
export EDITOR=nvim
```
