> No buttons, commands or special characters needed.

I'm unsure what benefit you are trying to describe here. When I jot things down in Notepad++, I use tons of commands all of the time to edit the text. You don't just type from start to finish, you know; you move around and you make edits. People who are more mouse-driven than me use buttons for the same purpose. I also make extensive use of (“special”) Unicode characters to make things clear to myself. Why would I use a software whose explicit aim is to take this all away?

I mean, there are things where we can avoid additional actions, for example: We can enter text and a new structure block will be autocreated, no need to click "add block" button before. We can cut whole block by Ctrl+X, without select text before.

Sure, more complex functions will require buttons or something.
