Method Detail

moveTo

default void moveTo(int pos)

Moves the caret to the given position in the text and clears any selection.

moveTo

default void moveTo(int paragraphIndex,
                    int columnIndex)

Moves the caret to the position returned from getAbsolutePosition(paragraphIndex, columnIndex) and clears any selection.

For example, if "|" represents the caret, "_" represents a newline character, and given the text "Some_Text" (1st line: 'Some'; 2nd line 'Text'), then...

• calling moveTo(0, 4) results in "Some|_Text" (caret to the left of "_")
• calling moveTo(1, -1) results in "Some|_Text" (caret in the left of "_")
• calling moveTo(1, 0) results in "Some_|Text" (caret in the left of "T")
• calling moveTo(0, 5) results in "Some_|Text" (caret in the left of "T")

Caution: see TextEditingArea.getAbsolutePosition(int, int) to know how the column index argument can affect the returned position.

Parameters:

paragraphIndex - the index of the paragraph to which to move the caret

columnIndex - the index to the left of which to move the caret
