I don’t understand what you mean by “interwoven”. If you move or copy text between the demarcations which mark the boundary between one file and another, and then are able to save each demarcated section to its respective source file, then I think I have what I’m looking for. And that part does not seem to be “impossible”, if I am correctly reading the help text for Depeche View, which I quoted already:

http://stahlworks.com/dev/doc/dviewhelp.html#Chapter_9_Pro_The_Integrated_Text_Editor

“While editing text, as soon as you typed in text changes,
you see two buttons at the right top, “Save” and “Revert”.

- when you click on “Save”, all changes of all edited files
are saved to disk, and all open editors are closed
(DView goes back to search mode).”

I understand that there are editors and file managers. I frequently use my file manager, Xplorer2, to view text files in the viewer pane. However, from that pane, I am unable to put that pane in an edit mode, so that I could make some quick changes, and then tab or return to the “file list” pane, with the quick edits I made to the text file being preserved. Doesn’t seem too unreasonable.
