It is possible to implement this with a fish function.
function edit_commandline
set -l tmp (mktemp /tmp/fish-fc.XXXXXX)
commandline > $tmp
eval $EDITOR $tmp
cat $tmp | read -l cmd
commandline -r "$cmd"
rm $tmp
end
Of course, if you do this properly, you'd have to check whether mktemp
failed, or whether EDITOR is set and executable.
To bind this to, for example, Ctrl-x, do
$ bind \cx edit_commandline
