Is it possible to edit my code from Visual Studio Online (VS Team Services)?

I have Visual Studio Online (now VS Team Services) account as a part of my MSDN subscription. I managed to create a project there, set a workspace in my local Visual Studio 2013 and check-in some test code. I was wondering if it is also possible to edit code using the web interface instead of local VS?

Here's a screenshot for you who have not discovered this tool yet.

How do I edit a file in Visual Studio?

From the File menu on the menu bar, choose New > File, or select the Ctrl+N keys. In the New File dialog box, under the General category, choose Visual C# Class, and then choose Open. A new file opens in the editor with the skeleton of a C# class.

The Visual Studio Monaco editing experience is currently available on a number of Azure Websites. A quick introduction and getting started can be found on Channel9:

Especially the "First Steps" video walks you through the steps of setting this up:

This is (not yet) available for non-azure website projects, but this is where things are heading without a doubt. I can't wait to get my hands on it.

I don't think you can currently, however it used Monaco editor, which is the same editor as sky drive uses for code files. So it may be that Microsoft are planning to add this in at some point.

Edit: Turns out they are planning on adding it, at lease for azure web sites, I found this article on tech cruch: http://techcrunch.com/2013/11/13/microsofts-visual-studio-2013-launches-with-new-online-tools-for-team-and-build-management-preview-of-browser-based-code-editor/
