editor line focus issue

[mingji]

hello, ace experts!
I would like place some text in each line which is not div tag, and focus them by mouse click.
by default, ace editor only focus mouse cursor inside of the text of line.
I want focus on outside of line where I add element.

I 'v inserted my code in lib/ace/layer/text.js like as following.(only pay attention for mingji's comment)

// row is either first row of foldline or not in fold
this.$renderLine = function(stringBuilder, row, onlyContents, foldLine) {
    var lineNumber = row;
    if (!foldLine && foldLine != false)
        foldLine = this.session.getFoldLine(row);

    if (foldLine)
        var tokens = this.$getFoldLineTokens(row, foldLine);
    else
        var tokens = this.session.getTokens(row);


    if (!onlyContents) {
        stringBuilder.push(
            "<div class='ace_line' style='height:", this.config.lineHeight, "px'>"
        );
    }

    if (tokens.length) {
        var splits = this.session.getRowSplitData(row);
        if (splits && splits.length)
            this.$renderWrappedLine(stringBuilder, tokens, splits, onlyContents);
        else
            this.$renderSimpleLine(stringBuilder, tokens);
    }

    if (this.showInvisibles) {
        if (foldLine)
            row = foldLine.end.row

        stringBuilder.push(
            "<span class='ace_invisible'>",
            row == this.session.getLength() - 1 ? this.EOF_CHAR : this.EOL_CHAR,
            "</span>"
        );
    }

    //<<2013.03.30 mingji add this code for comment input
    stringBuilder.push(
        "<table id='notegrid",lineNumber,"' border='0' class='ace_notecomment' cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0' style='height:", this.config.lineHeight-4, "px;'> \
        <tr id='R",lineNumber,"'> \
        <td class='ace_notecomment_cn' >//note_cn</td> \
        <td class='ace_notecomment_en' >//note_en</td> \
        </tr> \
        </table>"
    );
    //>>

    if (!onlyContents)
        stringBuilder.push("</div>");

};
