Description

Would love to have the ability to get the current JSONPath based on the cursor location in text mode, but I don't think with the current features/events this is possible at the moment. Is this something that can be achieved or is this too hard in text mode?

Contributor guide

Investigate the text mode editor implementation to find the cursor position and compute the corresponding JSONPath using existing JSONPath library.
