Does Android have the concept of a text editor like Linux does?

 These days, when people say text editor they often mean word
processor. So which kind do you mean? Libreoffice Writer kind or the
plain text kind that's in Linux handled by Emacs or vi or nano or
whatever?
 Anyways, assuming the latter, for me it's usually enough to use the
included text editor in Ghost Commander but I guess it doesn't
count. With a quick search SimpleEditorFree came up and it seems like an
example of that so the answer to your question is yes.

Thank you for that simple editor suggestion where I will test it out!
Simple Text Editor - TextPad by Maxim Starkov
https://github.com/maxistar/TextPad
What I will test are the following basic requirements.
a. An existing *.txt file can be opened with the editor
   (But so can any other text editor open that *.txt file)
b. Changes to a *.txt file can be saved by the editor
   (again, allowing any other text editor to edit them)
c. The editor should open a new (empty) *.txt created    on the Android file system and allow other editors.
d. A shortcut to the *.txt file should open it up.
In other words, the text editor and the text file should be separate
entities even after the text editor creates or edits the text file.
