You could take a look at BlockCAD, to try out what's good or bad.
BC has both a mouse interface and a (more limited) keyboard
interface (But no textual editing of course).
By the way, why must the graphic window be noninteractive - let
keys have different meanings in the different windows, adjusting
the view when in the graphic window, and ordinary editing keys
when in the text window. Just needs one special key for switching
windows.

Couldn't the VEC program send windows messages to the editor with
the piece selection?
Oops, sorry, I see now that I didn't read Your post correctly -
why is selection in the graphical window out of the question?
I have code in BC for identifying what's clicked on, perhaps You
could adapt some of it? The source is free.
