[Feature Request] Quick variable editing
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Editing variables currently take at least 3 clicks:
- The environments dropdown
- Manage Environment button
- (Select environment)
- Click inside the text field
Describe the solution you'd like When clicking on a variable, in the "Edit Variable" dialog, should have a quick way to change the variable. This would be simpler:
- Click variable where it's used
- Click field
Would be either below or above the preview:
Describe alternatives you've considered Can't think of any simple solution that would be low effort like this one.

This would be kinda tricky
- You have to know which environment to edit, either the currently selected one or the base environment
- When using templated variables
{{_.url}}/{{_.path}}/{{ _.userID }}
, it wouldn't be clear which variable to edit. I think the best UX would be to have an input field to edit for each variable that is used in the template, but that might be difficult. - Custom templates are even more tricky and probably should/could not be editable
If this is limited to only editing plain variables, with no templating, it should be pretty straightforward and add some value.
I attempted that and got it sort of working, but I don't think I'm familiar enough with Nunjuncks to get it fully working. https://github.com/nbgraham/insomnia/pull/1
