what is the reason for your obsession with sudoedit or visudo or anything other than just editing the $%&^& file, saving your change and testing them on another terminal window? Like is done on almost every other config file in a Unix environment? There is no pfconfedit, daily.localedit, virc.conf, dhcpd.confedit, and we do just fine without it. If you are so obsessed with doing things the sudo way, just use sudo (from packages) as has been already said. Otherwise, just edit doas.conf, test, and have a great day! Nick.
