The USB Printing plugin of Cura has not been updated in a long time. No Ultimaker printers use it because there were glitches that could not be overcome. You can try to use it if you want. It does work for some people.
I use the SD card. It's simple and easy to understand. Bring a model into Cura, adjust the settings as you want them, slice the model, save the Gcode.
I like to save it to the computer hard drive first (so there is a copy I can access) and then copy the gcode to the SD card and insert the card in the printer. You can select the file from the LCD menus and print the file. There are no interruptions when printing from the SD.

Cura is not a text editor. When you load a gcode file it can display it as a preview but the gcode file itself cannot be edited from within Cura.
If you intend to slice a file then you must bring in a model (STL, OBJ, 3mf, etc.). After slicing the file with your settings the slice button will change to a Save button and you can save the file as a Gcode.
If you need to manually edit a gcode file you can do it in a text editor (ex: MS Notepad, Notepad++ or the program of your choice). It cannot be edited in a word processor.
