Answer 1

You can get the index of the caret ("cursor") with

int offset = textArea.getCaretPosition();

and then convert to a TwoDimensional.Position with

Position pos = textArea.offsetToPosition(offset);

From there, pos.getMajor() is the paragraph (line) number (and pos.getMinor() is the index of the caret within the line).

Answer 2

You can get the current paragraph index or line number with:

codeArea.getCaretSelectionBind().getParagraphIndex();
