Syntax error occurred in EDIT statement WHERE clause in TOAD (4313693)

Syntax error occurred in EDIT statement WHERE clause in TOAD

Toad is using the parser to identify that statement. And if you run the same statement in SQL*Plus, it launches Notepad to edit a file. Since the parser can't handle it on (i)multiple lines and (ii)on Oracle/SQL*Plus syntax, so it is flagging a syntax error.
Ideally it wouldn't identify this as a syntax error. But the parser is used by many other teams and its behavior should remain true to Oracle's syntax.

WORKAROUND :

1) Move the WHERE up to the first line. Keep EDIT statements to 1 line.

2) Edit is nothing more than a shortcut to write SELECT rowid, table.* FROM table.
Can setup an auto replace to replace "EDIT" with "select rowid, t.* from" and just need to add "table t".
Choose a simple alias that makes sense that can be use always for this command.

3) Remove the semi-colon from the statement and execute it with CTRL + Enter.
EDIT scott.emp
WHERE e.sal > 1000 ;

EDIT scott.emp
WHERE e.sal > 1000
