Edit menus in iOS feel clunky, especially with overflow options, but the contextual relevance feels right. Did you experiment with improving on the Edit menus o

  Yeah the overflow really kills them. But they are really well known by iOS users so it's a big step to not have them in a text editor. I haven't tried writing a replacement, but these new menus came more from a need for non-contextual features. Access to code tabs, dependencies, documentation, and assets being the main ones. The contextual features in the code editor were often handled by the keyboard accessory in Codea (the bar that sits above the on-screen keyboard, or at the bottom of the screen if a hardware keyboard is attached). The new "Edit" menu also gave me an opportunity to make contextual features (comment selection, indent code, etc) more explicit and less hidden.
