If you have to break out a text editor then you are ether...
1. On the bleeding edge of what the tool can do.
2. Breaking the unix common sense of "Don't fight the tool."
3. Finding a lot of bugs in the tool.

I do resort to text editing for changing PCB silk screen text and for
renumbering footprints after I have the drawn dimensions correct. What
are you doing?
