Make self-suggestions (quick edits) easier
Problem to solve
The suggestions feature is great, and the flow for clicking on suggested change and applying your own change is actually quicker than going into edit or the web IDE. For a simple edit in a MR you're reviewing that doesn't really need a back and forth dialog, we could support this as a quick edit mode.
You can see how it was done in this case, and I've also done the exact same thing. It's just quicker and easier than any other flow, but we can make it even easier.

Proposal
Have a "apply directly" button in addition to the save comment button which saves the comment and applies the change in one click.
Permissions and Security
This should follow existing security.

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?
