Hi Team,
I want to find the element name inside which user has placed cursor. Can you please if there is any existing method to get that?

Thanks,
Smita

Hello,

If you are developing a plugin or an AuthorOperation you can use the following Java API to find an element at a specific offset:
ro.sync.ecss.extensions.api.AuthorDocumentController.getNodeAtOffset(int)
The caret offset can be obtained from the AuthorEditorAccess:
authorAccess.getEditorAccess().getCaretOffset()
Then, to obtain the name of the element you can check first if the AuthorNode is an AuthorElement and get its local name with:
ro.sync.ecss.extensions.api.node.AuthorElement.getLocalName()

If this is not what you need please give us more details about your use case and the API that you use.

Best Regards,
Mihaela
