   I'm traveling using someone else's laptop so please don't whine that you   
   know who I am 'cuz if you don't, you're a moron so don't claim you're a   
   genius for figuring out who I am (as that just proves you're an idiot).   
      
   I saw the message by "T" asking about plain text editors, where my need is   
   that I often copy text files over from Windows to accessible Android   
   folders on the sdcard0 and sdcard1 partitions, and then I want to edit them   
   (and save them) using that Android text editor.   
      
   In the past, I've been able to edit them but not save them given some apps   
   will only save to their own private space, which isn't what I want as I   
   want the closest thing to a normal PC text editor as Android can give me.   
      
   For example, often unless you open the file through the Android Storage   
   Access Framework (the system file picker), edits may not be written back to   
   the original file but only to the editor's own private sandboxed space. And   
   even then, may text editors onlyl have a single data file, where they make   
   multiple text files "tabs" inside a single binary file. I don't want that.   
      
   I don't want single binary file with tabs nonsense.   
   Each text file stays a separate file and gets saved where it was found.   
      
   Looking up the requirements (it also has to be free, registration free and   
   ad free of course, and hopefully gsf free also), these may fit the bill.

   Of these, given I want open-with integration from a file manager,   
   Xed-Editor is the most straightforward choice since it is open source,   
   ad-free, no registration, and works with Android's file pickers.   
      
   Anyone have experience with those given this situation:   
   a. A text file is already sitting somewhere on Android.   
   b. The Android file picker can find it & present a list of editors.   
   c. One of those editors is one of the above text editors.   
   d. That text editor edits that text file & saves it back where it was.
