Hello community:
While trying out the new cool text properties feature, one thing puzzled me:
Any attempts at, in insert mode or whatever, splitting a continuous
text property over multiple lines
actually created new ones, instead of extending the one that was already there.
For example, if '#' represents a textprop, with
Lorem ###|### ipsum
with the cursor being *inside* the textprop,
typing '<CR><CR><Up>...' produces:
Lorem ###
...|
### ipsum
where the `...` in not in the textprop.
This is contrary to what I would expect -
that editing inside a textprop should never break into into two.
I also found it really non-obvious how one would go about
programmatically performing an edit to the buffer text and
have the textprops react in the intuitive way like if the edit was
done manually.
Is there any chance this could get fixed, or at least add a note in
the doc for why it works this way?
I do not really see when the existing behavior would be desirable,
and it does complicate my efforts to create a snippet plugin.
Well met,
Axel Forsman
