Describe the feature you'd like

When viewing a note this is no button to get to the editor:

Image

The edit button only allows you to edit information about the note (like the title) but not the note itself. It's very annoying that you can't edit the note easily after viewing it. You have to go back to the list page, find the note, click the three dots, and then click "Open Editor".

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing Karakeep users

It would be easier, more user friendly, and less annoying to have a button to edit notes from the notes screen.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

Maybe allowing users to edit notes directly from the note page?

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

  • I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundamental request

I want to express my support for this feature request.
I understand that note taking has been a bit of an afterthought of Karakeep so far, as it's primarily designed to keep bookmarks. But with proper note keeping support it could become a complete drop-in replacement for google keep, which I'd very much support! - So please, make text notes editable!
