Yeah, one of the concerns I had was whether the selected NSRange is
preserved when -string is called.
I've always assumed it is. That is, all character indexes that
appear in the NSText[View] API correspond to character positions in
the textStorage's string. It seems that this has to be true, because
there's no other meaningful way to define the character indexes.
Yes, that's correct. Within a given text view, the character indexes
are the same between the text storage and its underlying string, and
these are the character indexes used by the layout manager and the
text view. Processes such as copying and pasting, on the other hand,
may not preserve character indexes.
