Yes.
However, my experience is now years old, maybe Abdel is right and the
core is in a much better state, so special-casing all the cursor
movement code can be done cleanly and easily.
I am not sure which of the recent changes would help in this
direction. Abdel, what do you have in mind?
Nothing too recent I guess and I am not sure when was John's last visit
to the source code :-)
John, do you know about DocIterator? They were designed specifically for
cursor navigation across insets.
As I said, I don't think we have a particular problem with cursor
navigation (except for LTR/RTL issues); the only potential issue is with
charstyle toggling and selection or words. One solution is to have one
inset per word as outlined elsewhere.
I am on purpose rejecting char based selection because the moment you
need that, you don't really need charstyle to begin with.
