Thanks for the responce after reading it. It seems it is not possible (yet?)
it says:
Wiki wrote:You can place items for the player to pick up in the editor. To do this, select the "Items" tab. From there, select what you wish to place down, then hover your mouse to where you wish to place the item down and right-click.
To delete items that you've placed, just like when placing entities, press "X" on your keyboard while hovering over the item you want to delete.

You can do it but not with the map editor. When you make a scenario for other people to play your map you can include a script file that will be run along side. This script file can add entities to the game (a chest) and add items to an inventory. If you have a look in "<FACTORIO INSTALL>\data\base\scenarios\sandbox\control.lua" you will see this in action.

In order to edit inventory contents of entities like (player, chests, turrets, etc) first deselect your current item by pressing "Q". After that left click on an entity to opent its inventory. Note based on your game settings you might need to use right click instead.

No problem. I had same problems as you the first time I was using the editor myself.
