Afaict both vim (gf) and emacs (M-x ffap) can do this. That covers about
99% of all sane editors no? :-)

Heh, not quite ;-) Here, I use nano(/pico), from the old times where 
(al)pine was my emailer. I can live with vim, but I prefer an editor
that starts in editing mode.

echo "startinsert" >> ~/.vimrc

I tried to use emacs a few times, but my fingers are too much into
pico/nano control keys, so it was ending by making me typing a lot
slower. Besides that, nano works well on 99% of my daily needs. 

When I need more fancy, like regex substitutions, changing/moving
big code blocks, editing multiple files at the same time, etc, 

nano can in fact do the multi-file thing, see nano -F, or add "set
multibuffer" to nanorc.

then I just use a GUI editor (currently kate, but seeking for
a good replacement, as some changes during F33 times - still 
present on F34 - caused some regressions).

The fact that you need a second editor; and are looking for a
replacement disqualifies nano (and Kate for that matter) as a sane
editor IMO.

You can ofcourse start extending nano :-)
