Hi all,

I would like to briefly inform about the recent additions in
RichTextFX [1]. RichTextFX is a text area that supports styled text.
Its original goal is to support code editing. To this end, it now
features:

1) Displaying line numbers and, more generally, any graphic in front
of each line. This can be used to implement, for example, breakpoint
toggles on lines of code.

2) Positioning a popup window relative to the caret or selection. Can
be used to position an autocompletion box.

3) Getting the index of a character under the mouse, when the mouse
stays still for a specified period of time. Can be used to display
custom tooltips whose content depends on the word/code under the
mouse.

Best Regards,
Tomas
