Let’s consider the windows notepad as a classic example: in similar editors, you have a text box where you type, and a menu where you command the app to do something.

Yes, but you have short cuts to the keys in that menu.

I was using MultiEdit back in the 80’s
Here is a list about the shortcuts i can access without ever leaving the “Insert-mode”

Thats what this editor could do back then, with a bunch of macros to dl and a possibility to record new macros.
I bet that MultiEdit Today is worth to compare with Emacs and Vi(m), and you can do all the work there in without Ever leave the “Insertt-Mode” and also without ever click on any of the menus.
It Even have a Emacs Macro-File, but i can not tell how close that comes.
And yes - it’s commercial and costs a lot of money and … thats another thread.
