Have you used LyX?

No, but this has inspired me to check it out. I only started used Latex recently.

Hi, that's intentional, because we see that most of the time superscript input is only one character, you can press arrow left to go back and input more characters.
Maybe in future I should have a setting to turn off that feature/behavior.
Thanks.

OK I feel a bit silly because I didn't realize you could just press left and go back to editing it. It's not even unintuitive, this is exactly the behavior of e.g. grapher, which I use all the time, I really have no excuse.
One question - if I want to write a^(b+c), I'll normally write in latex: a^{b+c} to group the b+c as part of the power. I can't figure out how to do the same in the editor - if I write in a^b+c, anything after the "b" will go back down and will no longer be superscripted.
