We will face challenge for sure but Cursor movement is already
working well for entering and leaving insets. We will have to decide
what to do with selection though. I am in the opinion that when
coming outside of an inset, whatever it is (charstyle included), we
should select the full insets. Right now, the implementation offers
no other choice in any case.
I think this would be very unintuitive behavior in the case of
character styles.
I do not think so. I have yet to see of a good example where
overlapping extents are useful (do you have a better example than the
TEI one?). We should not design the UI around a weird case.
No, I don't really, at least not something that I would use LyX for...
Where I think this idea of overlapping ranges really is very necessary
is precisely in the field of textual analysis, but I'm not sure that I
see anyone doing that with LyX --- though then again, I'd rather not
rule out that option.
What I had in mind when claiming that it would be "unintuitive" is more
along the lines of what John mentioned --- where I start a selection,
say, in the middle of an emphasize text, and extend the selection to
after the emphasized text --- I don;t expect the *entire* emphasized
text to suddenly be selected...
