   To turn Chris' nauseating troll into on-topic added value, the goal of a   
   tested text editor that can easily access any text file stored anywhere in   
   the user partition is an extremely useful endeavor to nail down.   
      
   To that end, last night I installed & tested Xed-Editor for the team.   
      
   When you start Xed-Editor, you can open a specific directory, e.g.,   
   /sdcard1/myfiles and Xed-Editor will default to showing you the files in   
   that folder when you next open up Xed-Editor. That works well if most of   
   your files will be in that hierarchy.   
      
   Or, in Xed-Editor, you can open Internal Storage, which points to the root   
   of your user-accessible internal storage. These two options are essentially   
   about setting the scope or starting point for browsing and editing   
      
   Once you find a text file to edit, it shows up in a tabbed list, but the   
   files are individual files which can be stored in any particular location.   
      
   Since I store all user files on /sd0/0000 and on /sd1/0001, I wanted to add   
   BOTH directories to Xed-Editor, but apparently you only can set 1 default.   
      
   So the "navigation" is not what I'd like, but the good news is every text   
   file you open seems to show up as a new tab inside of the Xed-Editor for   
   easy access after you've once located it.   
      
   Assuming you usually only open a dozen (or so) text files, you'll   
   eventually have a dozen tabs, once for each text file you often edit.   
      
   Of course, you can also use a file manager that brings up the Android SAF   
   which allows you to set the default text editor for all text files tapped.   
      
   I'm still having some problems since some text files won't save, so I'm   
   working them out, but as a text editor Xed-Editor seems to be one to   
   consider. (I never fully understood why you can edit a file in Android but   
   not save it. If someone has that explanation, please let us all know.)
