[Artistic Text Tool]

I am new to Affinity, but a long time Adobe user and have a good understanding of graphic design in general... I just started to build a simple typography composition and have been struggling with trying to edit a text object that i created. Double clicking with the Move tool or the Node tool only put me into a deep edit mode where I have access to the individual character or the path for the character (both of which are awesome features by the way). But I am looking for a cursor prompt and can not seem to get back into an edit mode where I can retype my text or change other attributes. I am sure I am just missing something fundamental to Affinity.
