Rapid-fire editing with text objects [...] ought to work pretty well on screen.
I wish they'd just do away with the rapid-fire crap altogether. It breaks the immersion. A mildly witty easter egg does not compensate for making every nerd in the audience of your nerd-movie cringe...
Just show some realistic typing, with mistakes and perhaps a quick copy/paste.
