Let me start my mentioning how great this diagram software is. I wanted
to know if there's any way to select (highlight) chunks of text within
objects and therefore be allowed to execute cut/copy/delete on that
highlighted text.
Only whole objects can be higlighted with the current system.
I use this to diagram our lab network and it's
important to be able to cut/copy as well as delete specific chunks of
text without actually using backspace repeatedly.
You could also use "Edit/Cut Text" etc.
If this is not an
implemented feature I would like to participate in trying to make it
work.
The Text object is defined in lib/text.[ch] It could possibly be extended
to not only hold the cursor positin in the text (Text::cursor_pos) but also
an addtional text selection.
The drawing of the text selection would need to e placed into the
interactive renderers. See: lib/diagdkrenderer.c and
plug-ins/cairo/diacairo-renderer.c.
I'm not aware of anyone actually working on this.
