WTH Editing the `configuration.yaml` file directly from the UI

I miss being able to edit the configuration.yaml file via the UI independent of installing an editor.

This is useful for unsupervised installations, where installing the File editor add-on is more complicated.

Editing any file would be nice! I use junkfix/config-editor-card: Home Assistant Configuration Files Editor for Lovelace, but seems like this should be built-in.

So, since Home assistant has been driven by yaml, and I hope and pray that they keep as much in yaml as possible. However I would really like a native YAML editor like the lovelace dashboards have for configuration.yaml and any !included files.

While I know I can use the Hass Configurator/Add-On, having this be native would be alleviate a few issues I have with using DarkReader to get it into Dark mode, because the add-on maintainer has stated that they won’t implement themes unless there is a rewrite:

Or you could install code server, or any number of other easy options.
