Add 'Edit Body' pencil at top of post

AI-generated summary

Moderator ganncamp proposed adding an ‘Edit Body’ pencil at the top of posts to ease UX friction when editing long, unformatted posts. Falco suggested using keyboard shortcuts, such as e, as a workaround for “Power Users”.

Hi,

As a moderator, I end up code-formatting the posts of a lot of new (and not-so-new :roll_eyes:) users. Generally these people have done an unformatted post of potentially hundreds of lines of server logging. I can usually tell that from the first screenfull. Unfortunately, I have to scroll past all that to get to the edit pencil.

It would definitely ease some UX friction for me if I could enter edit mode for the body from the top of the post too.

For “Power Users”:tm:, we have several keyboard shortcuts :keyboard:!

You can browse posts using j and k and quickly open the edit composer on the selected post using e.
