Description
I've often found myself needing to find a file, click download, accept downloading a file Chrome doesn't expect (like an lpl), finding it in my downloads folder, then hoping I configured the correct editor for that file. It would be great if I could just edit the files directly in the web ui and have them saved back to the server immediately.
Would you take a pull request for this functionality?
