Alright, I've managed to get the text tool up to a point where it can be tested: https://krita-artists.org/t/text-tool-thread/57973/60
All the plain text editing bits are in place, including input method support, vertical text mode and editing of the basic wrapping area. Right now I'm hoping for feedback in this area to get some papercuts out, so I can afterwards dive back into the nitty-gritty to prepare everything for rich text editing.

Alright, my cursor changes and inline size changes have been merged, which means we can start testing! All the changes are in the nightly, so to get yourself a copy of Krita that can edit text, go to krita.Krita Artists

I look at that and realise how many more developers we really need to do all tge work on the todo list.
