Actually, I think changing the behavior of arrow keys to what alt+arrow keys do
in LibreOffice Writer would be sufficient for cursor movements, and also
adopting the same positions for highlighting characters and diacritics can be
enough. This is the solution #1 described in comment 0.

Some applications specific to calligraphy actually provide some sort of
outplaced editing functionality, but it would be again hard to edit.
