Request to add a feature: enable direct file editing within Tabby #8462

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. No

Describe the solution you'd like Allow files to be edited within Tabby, for example, by selecting a file in SFTP and opening a new editing window within Tabby. Editing can be done directly within this window and upon saving, the changes can be automatically uploaded back to the server. This feature would greatly enhance convenience.

Describe alternatives you've considered Not yet.

Additional context This feature is extremely practical, especially when dealing with extensive text files. While Linux's built-in editors, such as nano or vim, are suitable for editing small text files on a daily basis, they can be quite challenging when working with large text files. Although it is possible to download these files locally for editing and then upload them back to the server, this process can be cumbersome and time-consuming. If Tabby could support direct in-app editing in the future, it would be the perfect solution.

I don't see this happening, ever, tbh. With any terminal emulator. vim is perfectly suitable for editing whatever you throw at it and if you really don't like using/learning it you can use sftp with other programs, like filezilla or winscp for example that will open a graphical text editor

Yes, already we have the capability on mobaxterm.
