selection.rs

//! The selection surface: the gesture entry points, the three fixups that keep an
//! anchor pointing at its content while the buffer moves under it, and two text
//! extractors — `selection_text` for the selected run, and `accessible_text`, which
//! reads the *active* buffer as one document (floored on the alt screen, like every
//! other absolute walk) and lives here only because it reuses the same extraction path,
//! not because it is a selection.
//!
//! The coordinate model — absolute `[scrollback ++ screen]` line indices, why they
//! survive an ordinary scroll, and the three places they do not — is stated in
//! [`crate::selection`]. Read it there; this module is the `Term` half of it.
//!
//! What is local to this site is the shape of that `Term` half. Three fixups
//! (`selection_shift_below_margin`, `selection_evict_oldest`, `selection_rotate_region`)
//! are `pub(super)` because the write path calls them from `term.rs` — each one beside
//! its decoration-marker counterpart, since both are absolute anchors and a buffer
//! motion moves them together. That pairing was weighed as a reason to merge the two
//! surfaces into one module and rejected in #584; the grounds and the counter-evidence
//! are recorded there, not re-argued here.
//!
//! `resolve` and `Resolved` stay private: every caller travelled into this module with
//! them. The remaining entry points are public API and keep `pub fn` — an inherent
//! impl's methods are reached through the type, not the module path, so a private child
//! module does not hide them.
