I need to enter a very long string of digits into an addon's configuration form field. There are plenty of so-called "text editors" that come with various third-party file managers, but I've searched extensively and I can't find any way to copy the string from a text file and paste it using the Kodi interface (more specifically, I can't even figure out how to select text). I'm using the Confluence skin that's had very tiny modifications so that it works perfectly with v18.9. However, if I need to use some other skin to accomplish this, I'll switch to it (although I'd prefer something other than Estuary or Embuary if possible).
I'm running Kodi v18.9 within my Gen 2 Fire TV.
I figure that I might well be able to edit the addon's XML files and brute force the string in there, but I doubt this will be the only time I need to do something like this, so I'd prefer a higher-level select/copy/paste ability.
There's an old (2010) thread somewhere in this forum with a title referring to a text editor, but it's been withdrawn. Any other suggestions, please?
