After this discussion, I wrote a little patch, which somebody else
might find useful:

; diff /sys/src/cmd/acme/exec.c src/acme/exec.c
70a71
> 	{ L"|",		edit,		FALSE,	XXX,		XXX		},
149c150,152
< 	e = lookup(r, q1-q0);
---
> 	e = nil;
> 	if(runestrncmp(r, L"|", 1) != 0 || q1-q0 == 1)
> 		e = lookup(r, q1-q0);

What it does is to interpret the pipe symbol '|' like the Edit command
when that is the only selection. That way, you can make the 2-1 chord
with Edit commands in every text window. I know it is a bit too
obscure, but very convenient, since the symbol is *always* in the
window - around the middle of the tag bar surrounded by spaces - and
it does not have any other use (you won't be using it to name
executable files). Maybe somebody else wants to give it a try.
