i did something similar, but not the way you proposed. I didn't find a
way to get the cursor position, so i decided to add a plugin to the
rich text editor component.
How to do this depends from which type of RTE you're using. When i
began to create such a functionality, the FCKEditor (now: CKEditor)
was the default component for textarea mediatype="text/html". Adding a
plugin to the FCKEditor wasn't easy because one has to modify the
content of some Orbeon jars (FCKEditor provides a Plugin mechanism,
but i didn't find a way to use it without putting the plugin code into
the Orbeon jars).
Enhancing the YUI RTE using plugins seems much easier, because
modifying the YUI RTE and adding plugins (for example, a button that
inserts some content at cursor position) is possible without modifying
the jars, but by simply adding some javascript to your xforms views.
Just search for YUI_RTE_CUSTOM_CONFIG in the mailing list archives,
there's some information about this matter.
I'm planning to write a short tutorial for the wiki about this topic,
but i didn't find the time up to now. But the mailing list archives
have the information needed how to modify the YUI RTE.
