There are three parameterized attributes that return line text ranges with a given text marker:

  • AXLeftLineTextMarkerRangeForTextMarker
  • AXRightLineTextMarkerRangeForTextMarker
  • AXLineTextMarkerRangeForTextMarker

They work similar to the word range getters. Each one is slightly nuanced in where/how it searches for the line to return.

Blocks: 1650333

There are at least 8 different methods for getting a range from an offset:

  1. left word
  2. right word
  3. line
  4. left line
  5. right line
  6. sentence
  7. paragraph
  8. range with same style.

Having a single wrapper and IPDL method for all of those with an enum would remove
a lot of redundancies.

Assignee: nobody → eitan
Status: NEW → ASSIGNED

There are going to be a whole bunch of things we want to check for each
text marker in a document. I think loops should be avoided as much as possible,
but this lets us store a single array with everything we expect for each marker.

This is going to expand in the future.

Depends on D90936

The left and right line getters don't seem to be used often by voiceover,
so I am not sure if they always return the expected result.

Depends on D90937
