This is a con for me. I want to select the whole charstyle automatically
and not bother with micro selection.
I think this could be solved easily with ranges: when the cursor is
inside a range, there could be some lfun (bound to a key or to
right-mouse, perhaps) "select-entire-range". If the cursor is inside
multiple ranges, perhaps a dialog would open up (or a context-menu)
which would allow me to select which range I want to select. And then
the entire range is selected. No if you want to change the style /
delete the style / delete the text --- it's really simple, because the
range is already selected. I don't think this is appreciably more
complicated than it would be with insets (I even think it would be more
intuitive), and even if it is slightly more complicated, I don't think
it's as common a use-case as selections which do not exactly match the
same range.
