I'm afraid there isn't. The long-term plan is to provide the docu in kdcop
[via dcopidlng]. But this needs both a dcopidlng improvement and to
actually document the DCOP calls in the *Iface.h files, which isn't done yet.

After the usual "startEditing" stuff (see www.koffice.org's kword dcop example),

cut() (to clipboard) preserves formatting. selectedText() would give you only plain text.

moveCursorRight(false)

paste()

You can't - DCOP is out of process... We'd need a dialog for defining new actions
and binding arbitrary shell commands to them... And those actions would need
to be saved - into the document? or into the app's config file?
