Focusing only on the "edit file" piece of your question, my editor of choice in most cases is midnight commander. If installed on your machine the command is:
~$ mc
or
~# mc
depending upon whether you need root privileges to modify the file.
With mc running, navigate to the chosen file, then touch F4 to open in edit mode. Save changes with F2.
Modify your configuration (F9 I think) to include "lynx-like" navigation, then you can navigate between directories with arrows as well as the Enter key.
