WIP Proposal
Explore ways to reduce the amount of decision making someone needs to do when editing a file, make the different editing options more clear.
Some quick examples:
I've been wondering if we could use a split button for the edit action and default to the most suited editor for the specific file? For most files the main action will be "Edit", and "Web IDE" and the "Pipeline Editor" options will be in the dropdown. For CI yaml files, we could default to the Pipeline Editor, but other options would still be in the dropdown.
