This is a feature that has been on our list for a long time. The reason we couldn't implement it because it's quite complicated for some fields like file_advanced or taxonomy. We'll probably take a look at that again and try to implement for simple fields.
Thank you for your idea, we've marked this feature on the roadmap. Currently, you can use the plugin Admin Columns and their addon Meta Box Integration to edit the field in Admin Columns.
