Description

Add a load map / new map option in esc menu in the editor. Very tiresome that you have to quit from the editor, go back into extras -> map editor just to load or create another map.

Research direction

Start by locating the editor's Esc-menu entry point and the existing map editor actions for loading or creating maps. Run the editor to verify the current navigation, then add accessible load-map and new-map options there. Done means both actions work without quitting the editor and navigating through Extras.
