Set cursor position in a Text widget

Question

Is it possible to set the cursor position in a Tkinter Text widget? I\'m not finding anything terribly useful yet.

The best I\'ve been able to do is emit a <

Answer 1

This property is just for Text Widget, because for Entry Widget we could use:

entry_widget_name.icursor("position")

For Text Widget will be:

text_widget_name.mark_set("insert", "%d.%d" % (x,y))

where x = row position y = column position

(using integer numbers with dots like 1.0 or 3.0 for example)
