I'm developing an editor for a docbook-like schema and wish to restrict the 
scope of cursor (solid red background) selections.  With the standard docbook 
configuration, assume that you have two adjacent paragraphs and cursor selected 
text spanning both.  XXE's default behavior for cut would work as intended, but 
paste (Ctrl-V) would silently do nothing unless the cursor is in the 
appropriate place.  The user would have to know to paste before or paste after 
with the application menu.

For my intended application, I think it would be more intuitive for the users 
to be able to paste whatever they can cut or copy with cursor selections.  
Therefore I would like to limit the scope of the cursor selection to the 
boundaries of block elements (i.e., para, listitem, etc.).  This would 
effectively mean that cursor selection would only be capable of selecting 
textual and other inline content (e.g., emphasis, etc.).

Is there a straightforward way to tell XXE where to stop cursor selection?  
Thank you in advance for any direction on how to accomplish this.

Cheers,
Mike
