You can tell for sure what kind of command fc is with
type fc
in the shell. For me it outputs "fc is a shell builtin". There's a
shortcut, though: hitting Ctrl-X Ctrl-E on any line will bring up an
editor for that particular line, like fc does. I think it also uses the
same environment variables as fc does to determine which editor to
launch.
