I run a root KDE session although I have been told that this isn't a
good idea. So, do so at your own risk.
Other than that, you can open an editor that isn't KDE in TWM (if you
execute "startx" from a virtual terminal, that is what you get as
default unless your distro has changed it). If I have gEdit working, I
sometimes use that in TWM. If you have a full X installation, there is
also Xedit although it is a little harder to use that gEdit. Or you can
use VIM in the virtual terminal (I only do that when I have to -- when I
can't get X to run).
