23 * The cursor class describes the position of a cursor within a document.
24 * Several cursors exist within LyX; for example, when locking an inset,
25 * the position of the cursor in the containing inset is stored.
32 /// set the paragraph that contains this cursor
33 void par(lyx::paroffset_type pit);
34 /// return the paragraph this cursor is in
35 lyx::paroffset_type par() const;
36 /// set the position within the paragraph
37 void pos(lyx::pos_type p);
38 /// return the position within the paragraph
39 lyx::pos_type pos() const;
41 void boundary(bool b);
43 bool boundary() const;
46 /// The paragraph the cursor is in.
47 lyx::paroffset_type par_;
48 /// The position inside the paragraph
51 * When the cursor position is i, is the cursor is after the i-th char
52 * or before the i+1-th char ? Normally, these two interpretations are
53 * equivalent, except when the fonts of the i-th and i+1-th char
55 * We use boundary_ to distinguish between the two options:
56 * If boundary_=true, then the cursor is after the i-th char
57 * and if boundary_=false, then the cursor is before the i+1-th char.
59 * We currently use the boundary only when the language direction of
60 * the i-th char is different than the one of the i+1-th char.
61 * In this case it is important to distinguish between the two
62 * cursor interpretations, in order to give a reasonable behavior to
