Line detection and per line cursor movement.

[martindufort]

I'm starting to integrate RTK into our iPhone app (using UIKit) and I was wondering if we have access to line-associated functionality.

Would like the RichTextPresenter protocol to provide me with:

• selectCurrentLine
• rangeForPreviousLine
• rangeForCurrentLine
• rangeForNextLine

Having those would allow us to interact with the RTK to easily move the cursor to the previous / next line positions?
Can I do this with the current functional set?

Hi @martindufort

There are unfortunately no such features in the SDK today.

Will test things out and potentially issue a PR for this.

Would adding this into RichTextPresenter protocol be the proper approach?

Sounds great, I'd love to take a look at it!

I'm once again thinking that I'd like to rewrite this library once again from scratch, while targeting iOS 17 and macOS 14...but I also realize that it will take a LOT of time. I should probably look at TextKit2 first.

TextKit2 is now almost mandatory given the new Writing Tools requirements.
