Retrieving inserted and deleted text

Wow! Great idea! Need to check bookmarks API. Thanks.

You can just use view.add_regions to add invisible regions and retrieve them afterwards with view.get_regions. Those regions move with the text to stay at the position they were added.

so basically the bookmarks functionality just uses what @r-stein suggested:

Thank you for the suggestion. This might work.
