Is there a way to set the cursor to be at the end of the contents of a CKEditor?

This developer asked too, but received no answers:

I would like to set the focus at the end of the text inside a CKEditor. When I use:

ckEditor.focus();

It takes me to the beginning of the text already inside the CKEditor.

Dan's answer got strange results for me, but minor change (in addition to typo fix) made it work:

var range = me.editor.createRange();
range.moveToElementEditEnd( range.root );
me.editor.getSelection().selectRanges( [ range ] );
