Again, ResophNotes. It does everything you seem to want to do.

The OP listed what he’s looking for:
I have folders of many small text files, and I need to go through them all and edit each one.  This is made especially tedious by the limitations of the file managers I use.  For each file I have to: (1) highlight the file in the file list pane; (2) load the file in a text editor (double-click or press F4); (3) edit the file; (4) save the file (Ctrl+S, or using mouse); (5) close the editor (Esc or other key); (6) move highlight to next file.  Repeat for all files.
—-I would like to find a file manager with a viewer pane that is also an editor - anybody know of one?  Ideally after highlighting the file in the file list pane, I could tab to the editor pane, make my edits, then tab back to the list pane, saving the edits automatically.  Anybody know of any such a file manager?—-

ResophNotes:
You can enter tons of individual text files. Just drag them into the Resoph folder.
(This requires the option “to be kept as single files” to be toggled on)
It loads them all into a list on the left side.
Whichever note is highlighted on the left is shown in the right pane - and editable!
Quickly move on to the next note.
The notes can then be exported as one large file with lines separating each note.
At that point, everything you asked for is almost exactly as you defined the software you are looking for!

Here is an old review.

Ignore the Simplenote synching as it sounds like that’s not necessary for your needs.

Good luck!
