Well, maybe if some widget existed that could be easily integrated, this would
indeed not be too much trouble, but I would still say that it doesn't really
currently fit into Dolphin's scope. I guess if it was very little code, it
could be considered, but it would stay a bare-bones feature then and users
would not necessarily be happy about an imperfect text editor either as long as
they know that other text editors in KDE work better. At the end of the day an
integrated text editor really sounds like a Konqueror feature and workflow. If
there is interest in that, I would hope that project sees more contributions
eventually.
