Thanks Александр, I expect I need to let go of some of the fancier ideas I have for this, and just develop the basic components using tools at hand. I think some of what I’m after might come under the heading of file editing, as opposed to text editing, as I want to nimbly pick up and toss around blocks of text from multiple files, more efficiently than laborious copy/paste, and I haven’t found an application that does that well. Sounds like projectile goes a ways on that sort of thing.
Appreciate the ideas, and if anyone has any further suggestions for tools, etc, let me know.
