The editor<-caret
is the current insertion point. In ranges from 0 up to and
including editor<-size.
Zero implies insert at the beginning; editor<-size
implies append at the end.
The method editor->caret
is invoked explicitly from all internal methods that manipulate the
caret and this method may thus be redefined to keep track of the users
caret-movements.
The editor<-mark
is a mark that moves with inserts and, together with the editor<-caret,
defines the region. The region can be in various modes as described by editor<-mark_status.
To get the caret from an event, see text_image<-index.
The location of the caret is visualised by a text_cursor
object that can be requested using editor<-text_cursor.
