State: closed
Merged: No


Summary of the Pull Request

This is the successor of #3438 . The idea is based on @miniksa 's comment originally posted here https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/3438#issuecomment-550058212

We could perhaps wrap a TextBufferCellIterator into a RenderClusterIterator, tell the RenderClusterIterator that it needs to return operator bool() as false when the underlying TextBufferCellIterator::TextAttr changes on increment, and provides accessors only for the character string and column string into the underlying cell iterator (which is a view directly into the text buffer).
