Allow users to edit environment variable in place, not just change the variable to another one

Feature

Would be great to be able to edit env variables directly when clicking on the variable name in the UI.

For instance here we would be able to edit the text and save it, making the adjustment to the currently selected environment.

Making a button that opens up the currently available env variable editor would also be great.

Why ?

1. It's pretty convenient.
2. Postman is doing it, but Insomnia is better. So how come they have a feature we don't have ? 😁

Just kidding, but hey, here is how it is implemented in Postman :

• Store and reuse variable

This would be a great feature, we don't always want to update the variables through the after response script in every request, sometimes we need to update manually, and having to open the environment, choose the correct one, locate the variable, change it, and then go back to the request and test is too time-consuming, and slows down our testing and development flow.

This feature should be implemented! It's too hard to switch from postman where i can create environment variables on the fly everywhere (url, params, headers, etc)

I think that would be really great if we could click a variable to change the value not only via script but manually too.

I would like to link to bruno which recently added in-place variable edition :

My goal here is not to direct users to Bruno, even though I actually made the switch for this and other reasons, but this should serve as an inspiration on how maintainers can implement the feature in Insomnia.
