Sometime it's hard to access text (eg. in menus, overlays, etc) because they are not visible on the first view in the standard designers view.
How about a text input field at the settings panel (D), were you can edit the text of a text block, paragraph, headline, richtext without the need that the element is visible at the designers view.
Would love to see this one. Might not seeing as this has been sitting here for two years...
Having an input field for text layers would be immensely helpful. Having to change the z-index on items just so we can edit them feels extremely clunky.
