Suggestion: /code mode should use the editor-model instead of the main model

[V4G4X]

Issue

I use the architect model by default most of the time, and I try to use a reasoning model as the main model and deepseek-chat or sonnet as my editor model.

Many a times, I have a simple instructions to give to the editor model that don't warrant my calling the slow and expensive reasoning models.
I hoped that running /code simple instructions would pass it to the editor model, thinking (code mode and editor sounds synonymous).
But that instruction goes to the main mode (reasoning model) wasting time and money before it went to the editor model.

Thoughts?

As a related point, I would have thought there'd be an easy way to edit the editor-model within the aider session without having to exit aider or change the config file, but I've not found that yet. It'd be a good way to customize further the architect mode.

It would be convenient if the model used in the editing phase of the architect mode and model used in code mode would be either the same thing or they both could be easily switchable in the session.

Or remove the concept of editor model and just use the main model for that?

Quite often when reasoning model spits out lots of code sonnet 3.5 instead of implementing it too often says something like this: Would you like me to continue with the remaining files? I'll break this into multiple messages to keep it manageable and clear.. And you cannot answer it currently without calling main model.

You can see my issue for that - you can change the sentence to "please continue to edit the remaining files" and the editor model can take it from there.
