Implementing multi-selection in QTextEdit
-
Hi all,
I'm developing a QTextEdit-based editor, and I need to implement "block mode". In that mode, rectangular blocks must be selected, instead of standard continuous selection. The pic below illustrates what I mean.

To be honest, I've already implemented that mode using the QTextEdit::ExtraSelection class and setExtraSelections() function, but the code looks not very well and there are still some issues.
So, any ideas? All I've googled is a suggestion to use Q3TextEdit which somehow supports multi-selection, but, of course, that is not what I need. I can post my code if necessary.

No ideas?
It would be also fine to implement some mode in which it's possible to position the cursor at any point of the edit. I mean something like Borland Delphi's source code editor.
