That's not possible in the general case. It's a hard enough problem for the specialized case of text editing.
- badsectoracula 6y agoI do not see as a different problem really, what you are describing is having a separate cursor per view (which is something programs already do). Also i'm talking about an ideal hypothetical system here, not something that exists - but it is certainly possible to do something like that, you are way too quick to dismiss something as not possible.
