Yes, and for this reason I strongly advise against it.

Having the Input Line in the comparative narrow sidebar is not an option, as it
is a convenient mean to display or edit longer formula expressions. Also, it is
not a simple UI control but a full featured EditEngine instance and last but
not least the entire formula bar where the Input Line resides is not a toolbar
but a window (which allows resizing the Input Line between one line and
multiple lines) and the Input Line is synchronized with the active cell edit
engine in the sheet. I doubt all that is doable with the sidebar.

If EditEngine would allow such thing then maybe. However, when editing there
you'd still need the entire content again.
Somehow leading empty lines in a cell are such a corner case..
Btw, removing the proposed easyHack which it certainly is not.</pre>
