We now have the Fast Edit feature that accomplishes a similar thing. 🥳

> [@Introducing fast edit](https://meta.discourse.org/t/introducing-fast-edit/204182):

> As of today it’s now possible to edit a small selection of a post in few clicks. [fast-edit] Can be disabled with the site setting: enable\_fast\_edit Important: If the code is not able to define with certainty which part of the post should be edited, it will fallback to open the composer. It doesn’t work with discourse-encrypt ATM Future improvement: a keyboard shortcut [Add keyboard shortcuts to Fast Edit](https://meta.discourse.org/t/add-keyboard-shortcuts-to-fast-edit/277633) Built with @Falco @sam @dan @tgxworld and @pmusaraj
