Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The prompt "Start writing, or try..." was useful to introduce '/' and '@', but once the user is familiar with those primitives, I personally find this prompt annoying.
Describe the solution you'd like
I suggest Text behaves like any other editor, showing a "boring" cursor and that's it... :-)
