Cursor seems like the ideal place for that.
should caching occur for the entire paragraph (or even
document), or just for the line which the cursor is in?
I don't follow you... there is a single cursor position.
I may not have explained myself clearly: cursorX is a function which
gets a position in the text (a slice), and returns the X coordinate for
that position. So what we would be caching is not the current position
of the cursor, but rather "where should the cursor be drawn when it is
moved to position so-and-so". There are many of those --- one X for
every position on the document. The question is, how many of these
positions should be cached: just for the line the cursor is currently
in, or the entire paragraph, or maybe the entire document?
I think this cleanup will be part of the upcoming rowpainter rewrite.
The problem we have now is that the metrics and coords caching are
partly done before the painting and the rest is done during the
painting. If I get to find some time, I will put everything to
pre-painting time.
