  Actually, I meant both, KTextEditor::Message for "Show as popup" and InlineNoteInterface for the other one. For first one, there are some use cases; the second one could be used to display git blame information more persistently than with a disappearing note. Both nice to have, of course.
  
  About the variables:
  there might be the wish to do some action (formatting, annotating) on the current view, therefore the suggestion:
  
    CurrentDocument:View:StartLine    - the first line that is at least partly visible in the current view
    CurrentDocument:View:EndLine      - the last line that is at least partly visible in the current view
  
  Maybe also because we have RowCount, but I have no use case yet:
  
    CurrentDocument:CharCount            - Total number of characters in the current document
    CurrentDocument:ByteCount            - Total number of bytes in the current document
