29 * \class Cursor cursor.h <KTextEditor/Cursor>
30 *
31 * \short The Cursor represents a position in a Document.
32 *
33 * \section kte_cursor_intro Introduction
34 * A Cursor represents a position in a Document through a tuple
35 * of two int%s, namely the line() and column(). A Cursor maintains
36 * no affiliation with a particular Document, meaning that it remains
37 * constant if not changed through the Cursor API.
38 *
39 * \section kte_cursor_notes Important Notes
40 *
41 * Working with a cursor, one should be aware of the following notes:
42 * - Lines and columns start a 0.
43 * - The Cursor class is designed to be passed by value (only 8 Bytes).
44 * - Think of cursors as having their position at the start of a character,
45 * not in the middle of one.
46 * - invalid() Cursor%s are located at (-1, -1). In addition, a Cursor
47 * is invalid(), if either its line() and/or its column() is arbitrarily
48 * negative, i.e. < 0.
49 * - All Cursor%s with line() >= 0 and column() >= 0 are valid. In this case
50 * isValid() returns \e true.
51 * - A Cursor has a non-virtual destructor. Hence, you cannot derive from Cursor.
52 *
53 * \section kte_cursor_properties Cursor Efficiency
54 *
55 * The Cursor consists of just two int%s, the line() and the column().
56 * Therefore, a Cursor instance takes 8 Bytes of memory. Further, a Cursor
57 * is a non-virtual class, turning it into a primitive old data type (POD).
58 * Thus, it can be moved and copied very efficiently.
59 *
60 * \section kte_cursor_more Additional Concepts
61 *
62 * In addition to the Cursor, the KTextEditor API provides advanced concepts:
63 * - The DocumentCursor is a Cursor bound to a specific Document. In addition
64 * to the Cursor API, it provides convenience functions like
65 * DocumentCursor::isValidTextPosition() or DocumentCursor::move().
66 * The DocumentCursor does not maintain its position, though.
67 * - The MovingCursor is also bound to a specific Document. In addition to the
68 * DocumentCursor, the MovingCursor maintains its position, meaning that
69 * whenever the Document changes, the MovingCursor moves, too.
70 * - The Cursor forms the basis for the Range.
71 *
72 * \sa DocumentCursor, MovingCursor, Range
