Description
What happened?
When the value of general.preferredEditor in settings.json is invalid, there's an infinite message spam of Editor is not supported: ${currentPreference} when you enter the /editor menu.
This can happen one of many ways:
- User manually updates the preferredEditor incorrectly
- User is adding a new editor, the preferred editor is set to the new editor, but then the user uses an older version of gemini cli, resulting in this issue
What did you expect to happen?
the Editor is not supported: ${currentPreference} message should happen once and once only.
