caret

In C, I recalled that I can move the invisible caret around the command line interface screen with respect to the line and character position, meaning I can make the program print any text anywhere on the screen. Do we have such command in Java? For instance, here is a pseudocode in C: int main(){ printf("launching program\n"); moveTo(4,3); //move to line 4 at character index 3 on the screen. printf("AAA"); moveTo(3,0); //move to line 3 at character index 0 on the screen. printf("BBB"); moveTo(2,1); //move to line 2 at character index 1 on the screen. printf("CCC"); return 0; } This will give

the normal behaviour of native text fields in many environments is as follows: Textfield with text "abcdefg". I use the mouse to select "efg" from left to right. The caret is now behind "g". When I move the caret to the left by pressing the cursor left key once, the selection is removed and the caret is right before "e". When I do the same in a JTextField or JTextArea (tested on Mac OS) doing the exact same thing results in the caret being right before "g". I know how I could change that programmatically by using a KeyListener and registering it with each component but I am looking for a way

I am working with a contenteditable div that will have the option to have inline html elements such as tags " <p> <font> <br> " in the text flow. At certain points I need to grab the caret position(cursor position) of contenteditable div, the caret(cursor) is after an html child element. i am using following code in javascript for Firefox it works correctly to find caret position(cursor position) of contenteditable div, but i does not find any solution for Internet Explorer to find caret position (cursor position) as window.getSelection is undefined. function getCaretPosition() { if (window

I have a contenteditable div where I replace hashtags with clickable links when the user clicks on space or on enter. The user writes down: I love but there is no fish at home| He then realizes he made a mistake and then decides to go back and write I love #sushi | but there is no fish at home #sushi gets replaced by: <a href="https://google.com/sushi>#sushi</a> Notice that the | shows the position of where I want the caret to be when the user presses spacebar. My current "placeCaretAtEnd" function places the caret at the end of the div and NOT behind the link that I just replaced sushi with.

Is there a way to hide or move the PasswordBox's caret? In .NET 3.5 SP1 or previous, there is no clean way to specify the color of a WPF TextBox/PasswordBox caret. However, there is a way to specify (or in this case remove) that caret from view (via a hack). The caret color is the inverse color of the TextBox/PasswordBox's background color. THus, you can make the background color "transparent black", which will fool the system into using a white caret (which is not visible). The code is (simply) as follows: <PasswordBox Background="#00000000" /> For further information on this issue, please

I want to be able to get the global caret position inside any application in Mac High Sierra using cocoa or appleScript. I already use NSEvent to get the keyboard and mouse hook but is there a way to get the caret position hook? The caret is different from the mouse position. It moves on key event or mouse click. In windows, you can get the caret position almost anywhere. I want to know if there is the equivalent for macos. I want to show a popup over the text caret, if i type on the keyboard or line return, it moves with the text.I tried getting the position of the key event,
