Add a dedicated Text Editing toolbar key with Arrows +

[iBasim]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
LeanType already has a complete text editing feature inside the clipboard, but it would be much better to have it as a dedicated toolbar key.
This would be more convenient and closer to the workflow used in Samsung Keyboard and Gboard، Futo, where Text Editing with Arrows + is available directly from the toolbar.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add a dedicated Text Editing key to the toolbar that opens the existing text editing interface directly, including Arrows + for cursor movement, plus copy, paste, cut, select, select all, and delete, enter.
This should work in a similar way to Samsung Keyboard and Gboard.

Use case
This would make text editing faster and easier, especially when moving the cursor precisely with the Arrows + or using actions like copy, paste, cut, and select all...etc.
The feature already exists, so this request is mainly about quicker and more direct access.

Describe alternatives you've considered (if any)
The current clipboard-based access works, but it is less direct than having a dedicated toolbar key with Arrows + or D-pad.

The existing trackpad mode could easily solve your problem. See #149

touchpad key is good, but it would be better to add a dedicated Text Editing key with arrows, copy, paste, cut, and sekect/select all, like in Samsung Keyboard and Gboard.

If this is difficult, at least add these buttons (arrows, copy, paste, cut, select all) to the touchpad itself, so they appear above the touch area and (enter and delete) in bottom without needing to access the clipboard or pin that buttons to the toolbar.

there is already toolbar keys for all those things outside clipboards too

[iBasim]

Yes, but I mean inside the touchpad/Text Editing mode itself, so the arrows and editing buttons are available directly there without needing to pin them separately

Just installed to test, cannot change toolbar keys.

New release fixed toolbar.

Tried the D-pad for selecting txt, only useful for small text selections.

A true edit layout is need! @devycarol on the HeliBoard forum had a functional editor layout but never got it finished, it was designed to be editable so the layout could be customize by the user.

Also seen on FlorisBoard a person forked it and added their own gui for custom layouts, only shared images but it look great. Found the link:
