Yes. And that's how the outline lfuns work by the way.
How ?
By looking backward for the first section heading.
Would be nice to make those lfuns reuse the shiny new
LFUN_SECTION_SELECT by the way.
Well, the shiny new LFUN_SECTION_SELECT uses code from the outline
lfuns.
I tried to implement the copy and cut operations, but that became
quite difficult. I need somehow to add some functions to
CutAndPaste, but I'm not quite confident that I understand all
mechanisms good enough to determine which functions to make public
and/or which functions to add.
I am not sure you have to add anything. Once something is selected,
you can copy or cut it easily; you don't need special support for
"section selection", a selection is a selection. Or maybe I am
missing what you are missing?

I don't want to select anything, as this will force the cursor to
move. That's something I generally try to avoid when using the outline
context menu. The outline lfuns uses a ParagraphList to move the
sections. It would be straightforward to copy this list to the
clipboard, like putClipboard( ParagraphList const & pl, ...) does.
But, I am not sure how to do this exactly.
This is a worthy goal and I agree it's generally better to avoid using
the BufferView Cursor and that's why I factorized the outline lfuns to
work with PragraphList. But, in this case, as with the outline lfuns,
you want to give a visual feedback to the user, don't you?
Or I shouldn't worry about moving the cursor.
In this case I think you shouldn't right now as this complicates things.
Abdel.
