Hello.

Thank you very much for improvements done so far to RIDE.
I have idea for new and very useful feature.
When working with Robot Framework, there is quite often need to quickly edit simple text files e.g. YAML, JSON, XML, PY, TXT end more.
Would it be possible to enable build in RIDE text editor to support those files?
It would be also great to have ability, to see such text based files included in right panel - additional category of items - in the similiar way we have External Resources displayed.
I guess most of the file formats would go into External Data category?

    @ksokolowski We can already edit non .resource or .robot files from the File Explorer or from the Menu. It uses a very basic editor that needs to be improved.
    The other part of your request is in my "mental" to do list :).
