This is more or less my thing too. If I open a lengthy file, I want to get to my place quickly and easily, edit or modify quickly and easily, insert and import, or even export text to and from it; sort of normal editing features we've been able to do for years, until we got the pocket device.
Anybody doing this like I describe? Using the cmd-arrow keys for block marking would have mileage, so would unix and wordstar concepts like block start and block end using ctrl-B and K respectively. The Wordstar one did try to be intuiative about it.

This problem never happened before 6.0. As far as what I want to do... I write stories and such in Notes. I used Pages for a while, but got tired of dealing with the accessibility issues there. I want to use something I can use ICloud to have on both my Mac and my IPhone.
