Custom button to insert text at cursor

[deathau]

The default button actions all add text where the cursor is (or at the beginning of the line). I was wondering if there was a way to achieve that with this component.

For a custom button, I can handle the CustomButtonClicked event, but I can't find a way to get the cursor position or anything to insert text, meaning I can only really append or prepend to the entire markdown text.

Alternately, is there a way I can add a JavaScript function as an action for my custom button? If I could do that, I could just do something like

<MarkdownToolbarButton Separator Name="Custom button" 
                         JSAction="(editor) => editor.codemirror.replaceSelection('Custom')"
                         Icon="fa fa-star" 
                         Title="A Custom Button" />

(as per Ionaru/easy-markdown-editor#273 (comment))

I'll think about how I can add this functionality.
