Feature hasn't been suggested before.

  • I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.

Describe the enhancement you want to request

Currently in the Web UI when you click on a file in the file browser tree: It opens the file in what looks like an editor interface. However when you click in this interface: Instead of being able to edit the file you are instead presented with a "Add comment" dialog (What does this even do? There's no mention of this in the docs that I can find. See my related question here: https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/issues/11502)

My request: Can this be modified to act as a text editor that allows the user to directly edit files in the Web UI?

Benefits: Much better user experience. Current Web UI offers no way of manually editing files (Aside from opening up nano or vim in the terminal pane)
