Jog: Rather that worry about your "edit" speed -  maybe improved accuracy in your editing would be a better goal.

Here is the article that JOG is referring to:

https://www.n2td.org/trail-braking/

Trail braking provides the rider with control throughout the turn. Grabbing the brakes in a panic mid-turn will 1) stand the bike up, 2) cause the bike to run wide, or 3) if you grab too much brake too fast, you will lose traction and low-side crash.

This is a very easy technique to learn and master. After "normal" braking prior to turn entry, leave some brake engaged from turn entry to the turn apex. You'll want to progressively reduce pressure on the brake lever from turn entry to the apex. Doing this without making any other changes will give you confidence that keeping some of the front brake engaged will not do "bad" things. You'll also notice that you'll be going  s l o w  by the time you get to the turn apex. You can add corner speed little by little until you get to the turn apex at the speed prior to trying the trail braking technique.

The advantage of trail braking is this: with the brake engaged and the weight of the bike already transferred forward, if you have to apply more brake mid-turn, you will not overwhelm the suspension, you will not stand the bike up, and you will not run wide through the turn. The probability of a low-side crash is dramatically reduced.

I do it,  but I use the rear brake.
Just works better for me.   The throttle and front brake are on the same hand, and my fingers don't work so good.  Arthur-itus don't ya know..

I've been using that technique for thirty years on and off road.

But in thirty years have never shared it with my buddies , gives me a bit of an edge as some of them are faster riders than I am.

But I think I use it much more off road than on.

Best motorcycle riding instruction book ever written IMO. Aimed at road racers, but the techniques are just as applicable to the street.

Exactly the kind of stuff the book focuses on. Some of the things we do instinctively and involuntarily, like chopping the throttle and grabbing a handful of brake when we get scared, are exactly the opposite of what the motorcycle needs to stay upright. The author calls them 'survival reactions" and explains why a lot of times they do the opposite of helping us survive. There's a pretty long list.  

A horse has four legs but a horse moving at speed is amazing , looking ahead noting where objects are not to be stepped on , but the horse is still looking ahead never seeing where he is stepping and not stepping on what his eyes/brain have seen a few yards back.
If you spend you time waiting for you front tire to go over a patch of gravel then you are not looking ahead.If you waiting for that patch to come up you are preparing to slide you are not relaxed you are on the edge of panic. The tire will pass over the gravel and regain its grip all on its own , if it had the horses brain it wouldn't even notice cause it's looking ahead. If your rigid and in a state of panic you are not one with your bike you are actually fighting the bike. It's simple relax , if you focus on a object it's much more likely you will hit it , term is "Target Fixation".
See it , don't focus on it , it you can miss it you will , if the direction/speed of the bike is going to hit the patch , relaxe , don't fight the bike , tires will do their job.
I know your smarter than a horse , so relaxe , keep looking ahead. I don't like gravel on entry of a turn but anywhere after the apex I will purposely ride thru it if possible, fun gettin a drift before a straight.

Day off  time for a quick ride 70 mile loop , time to renew the soul.
