What if I just want to edit text in a non-WYSIWYG fashion? I find the editor way too slow and too restrictive

Write it in a text editor, then paste it in.

Thanks but, does this allow for modifications?

Yes, as long as you've just used plain text.

If you've added any formatting, you'll need to copy it into a rich-text editor, make changes, and paste it back

I don't think this works anymore. I can't see a way of doing this.
