Re: Editing
Yes, its just pushing the cursor through one character at a time.
The only change (in official versions *1) to the line editor was in the ZX Spectrum 128 where the line editor was ditched in favour of a full screen editor. This is better, but still has quirks.
(*1) I’m not actually aware of any substantially different third party editing systems for the ZX80 or ZX81. But I think there may have been for the ZX Spectrum.

There are four lights!
Step up to red alert. Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb

Re: Editing
You can try to load the Coral Basic Interpreter (CBI), it can be downloaded on the page below. The page is also the manual in English and Polish.
Here you can edit the Basic with full screen editor.
Coral Basic Interpreter is a new Basic interpreter with a lot of extra commands including support for structured programming, parameter calling etc.
Note that the interpreter has many calls to the Basic ROM, so it will not work with the ZXpand enabled. (You need to do a CONFIG "X" before run.) It will not work if you have another custom ROM on your system either.
