current cursor of TextInput or TextArea Component

Key: PIVOT-844
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-844
Project: Pivot
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: wtk
Affects Versions: 2.0.2
Reporter: Brendan
Priority: Minor
SuggestionPopup used to replacing whole content of TextInput once user make a
selection. This creates difficulties in implementing, for example, a list of
comma separated email addresses in recipients column.
I suggest to modify the replacing methodology to allow additional parameter of
Index of the beginning word to input so that the SuggestionPopup will replace
from the beginning index to the current caret (text cursor) with user
selection. Additionally, allow not only TextInput but also TextArea to be
served with, which we can build a typing assistant like function.
The finding the beginning index is user code responsibility which opens up the
choice of usages, like email address assistant where ";" is the separator and
space as separator when general typing assistant. The user code just need to
use Java String Split to locate the closet word to the caret for
SuggestionPopup.
