QPlainTextEdit

1) How can I change the mouse cursor when the cursor hovers over a selection?

2) If I press the right mouse button, a context menu is displayed. How can I make that context menu different based on the position of the mouse cursor over selection or not?

Thank you :)

Set contextMenuPolicy to Qt::CustomContextMenu and use the signal QWidget::customContextMenuRequested(). In the slot query your variables/parameters and build your own menu.

Ok, but in customContextMenuRequested() how can I check if the menu was requested while the cursor was on the selection or not. Is there a function that tells me if the selection contains a point (the mouse coordinate) or should I make a series of calculations to find that?

Not tested, but QTextEdit::cursorForPosition() and QTextCursor::hasSelection() may help you.

Thank you, I'm pretty sure they'll do the trick :)
