Show the caret position of authors on your Etherpad um, Pad.
Important: A caret is not a cursor, a cursor is what your mouse uses.. A caret is the little stick used in a word processor. The more you know....
Features
- See where the author is in really real time
- Click on an authors colored icon block to follow that author as they move around a pad
- I needed a third feature so let's go with free NFC Ring for anyone who spots this crazy "feature"
TODO
-
Avoid race condition where the ACE object is sent and the cursor but the cursor arrives before the event
-
Add a buffer
-
Show the stick on the right when the righter px of the span is greater than the total width of outerdocbody IE the name doesnt fit on the screen
-
Test Coverage
-
Show the authors location (When in follow mode) even if the author doesn't type anything (means storing authors last known locations)
