I don't think it is a good idea to use the cursor as the insertion point 
since this is both very uncommon and not very practical, the mouse 
cursor is too volatile for this. More reasonable is to use the selection 
as the insertion point, and this is currently how it works. Using this 
as a base for an improved workflow seems like a better idea to me.
