Description
Your idea
Right now when I click on a note and click enter text, I have to then select the text and then type what I want. Or something along those lines. I think when you click a note to add text, you should be able to start typing immediately. Some apps show the text box with the cursor ready to go. There is often a grayed-out field name which gets typed over. I think this would be a more efficient method of entering text.
Problem to be solved
needing to take too many steps to input text.

Research direction
The issue does not name files or tests. Start by tracing how staff and system text is inserted from palettes, then inspect the transition into text-editing mode. Done means newly added text is immediately selected or has the cursor ready so typing replaces or enters text without an extra selection step.
