Description
Describe the feature
There have been a number of occasions when building a pattern, that I wanted to copy in pattern code or modify it directly.
It would be nice if we could switch the creator into Code Editor mode and back. For me, it's part of my Gutenberg experience. I frequently work in both views.
Expect to see
Scope
At this moment in time, the <ModeSwitcher> is not an exported component. Gutenberg's edit-site package appears to just have duplicated the code. We could also duplicate or maybe submit a Gutenberg PR to export the component.

Research direction
Start by reading Gutenberg's packages/edit-post/src/components/header/more-menu/index.js at the referenced commit, focusing on the ModeSwitcher component and how edit-site duplicates it. Then inspect the Pattern Creator entry point and determine whether the switch should reuse or export that component. Done means the creator can switch between visual and Code Editor modes and back, with code changes reflected in the pattern.
