Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
With the old text editor, it was either pure raw markdown or the rendered text. Now the WYSIWYG editor is a great improvement (thank you very much! 🤗) however a raw text mode is missing now.
Sometimes you want to edit certain markdown things, which are a bit awkward to do in the WYSIWYG. For example, you can not remove an inline code block without deleting the text.
Describe the solution you'd like
A button to switch the editor into a raw editor.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Every markdown you can use, should be revertible via the UI/keyboard shortcuts
