FG Editor Switcher

Introduction
A Joomla editor plugin that lets you switch which editor (TinyMCE, CodeMirror, None, JCE, ...) is used for editing fields, directly from a dropdown placed next to the standard edit-screen toolbar (Article/Image/Pagebreak/Read More/...) - without going through Global Configuration.
Features
- Dropdown selector styled to match the admin template's own toolbar buttons (colour, height, alignment) instead of a plain, mismatched ``.
- Works with any installed/enabled editor plugin, including third-party ones (e.g. JCE) that use a different toolbar markup than Joomla's core editors.
- Carries unsaved content over to the newly selected editor when switching, o nothing is lost - with an automatic fallback to a confirmation prompt if the handover can't be completed (very large content, browser storage unavailable, etc).
- Supports multiple editor fields on the same admin page, including fields added later (repeatable subforms, AJAX-loaded forms).
- Remembers the chosen editor via a cookie.
- Optional debug mode that logs the active editor and cookie value to the browser console.
- Native Joomla 6 architecture: PSR-4, dependency injection via
services/provider.php, WebAssetManager for JS/CSS.
