Could you please describe your usecases?

I sometimes need to insert some extra whitespaces/new line characters in the IndentTask and then place the caret in a certain position between them. Now 
whenever I insert spaces to the document (before or after caret pos) the caret will be positioned at the end. Refer to issue 118616 for a specific example, 
please give me a call if additional explanation is needed.

for example to to implement the "smart enter" functionality (issue 118616), which looks like this:

<tag>|</tag>

->

<tag>
   |
</tag>

I need to:

 - detect situation when enter was pressed while caret was directly between opening and closing tag
 - insert extra new line character
 - *position the caret just before the extra new line character*
 - call formatter for the three lines centered in the line where the caret will positioned

This is a P2 since it is blocking 2 high priority indentation issues.

Interestingly this blocks P3 issues.

Should already be fixed by issue 116022.
