data class TypingContext

It’s important to note that the cursorStart and cursorEnd refer to the character position of the cursor in the text, as reflected by the following examples (where the character | marks the position(s) of the cursor):

• “Hello world|” -> TypingContext(context: “Hello world”, cursor: 11)
• “Hello 🌎|” -> TypingContext(context: “Hello 🌎”, cursor: 7)
• “貫|” -> TypingContext(context: “貫”, cursor: 1)
• “Façade and Entrepôt|” -> TypingContext(context: “Façade and Entrepôt”, cursor: 19)

Take into account that these positions do not always match the selectionStart and selectionEnd of the EditText, specially whe there are special characters such as emoji, diacritics, etc.
