The 7-colour version doesn't support partial refresh and has a 15s refresh time (~0.067Hz refresh rate), so you'd want to be a really confident touch typist.

Mind, the black and white e-ink screens would still work for this.
Sounds like it's time to learn ed.
ed echoes back the characters you input as you type them. This display would not be able to do that.
Put a one or two line black and white LCD on the bottom to show your ed-like commands, with the e-ink just showing the results of edits.
Thanks...
