Description
### Description
Quite frankly, the edit UI/UX is very confusing. I didn't even know I could review past message edits until someone pointed it out to me, and I have been using Riot for a few months.
I think instead of making users click a tiny `(edited)` text, there should be something else that makes it more obvious.
### Steps to reproduce
- Send a message
- Edit that message
I personally think another item in the context menu could solve this, but we should think about its placement before blindly adding it wherever we can.
### Version information
- **Platform**: desktop, but this applies to web too.
For the desktop app:
- **OS**: Fedora (does this matter?)
- **Version**: 1.6.7
