Using the Artistic Text tool & warping text

[SStohelit]

1. When creating a curve and placing text on it - I should be able to select which side of the curve I want the text to be placed on, depending where I click the cursor. The text gets placed on a default side, then I have to use the sliders to force the text on the side I want it.

2. Warping text - This is not a part of the artistic text tool. There is this “Warp Group>Mesh” tool I have used before but I would say it is very effort heavy to adjust all of the points individually. Also it automatically creates a new group with way too many layers, making the process messy. The program has crashed multiple times while using that Warp Group>Mesh feature specifically. It's also difficult to find inside the program.

I would love to see a "warp text" tool that is not overly sensitive.

@N.P.M. I can send you a screen recording. It defiantly does not allow me to add text to the side I choose, either not at all or without multiple tries.

We can choose inside or outside with Closed Curves but I don't seem to be able to choose "Top" or "Bottom" of Open Curves. I think that this is just the nature of the beast for Open Curves. I haven't really spent much time thinking about this behaviour.
