Text editing done right requires either a true keyboard to manipulate it, or true AI that understands every small nuance one might want to apply to a text. Unfortunately until AI catches up, the best tool we could use for text is a real keyboard, or a virtual one that doesn't suffer from the lack of usable space of mobile devices, which would probably make use of an external wearable, possibly BT connected, device. Years ago I thought of one shaped as an "ergonomic potato" that uses a few keys (3 or 4) and an accelerometer for hand orientation detection, so that one could use a mix of the key combination and hand position to rotate and find the right char/symbol on a virtual ball-printer-head-like "thing" shown on the screen. I never went beyond the "what if" stage; the contraption would probably work, but would also be too cumbersome to use.
