How to set cursor position in Codemirror editor
I am implementing "find and correct" functionality using codemirror. I know there is an addon for search and replace, but it doesn't fulfill my requirement. the editor is for writing particular queries. It creates spans in
<pre>
<span class="cm-field">field</span>:jet <span class="cm-other-operator active" >adj3</span> engine <span class="cm-operator">OR</span> jet <span class="cm-other-operator" >near5</span> engine
</pre>
please refer snapshot.
If i click on any of the operator (orange colored), the cursor starts blinking there and the functionality is working. On clicking find next button i am able to find the respective span but unble to set cursor there. So How can i set Cursor position there. Thanks in advance.
Answer
Before you set the cursor position you have to focus on the editor.
editor.focus()
Then just like @djadmin said you would use doc.setCursor(pos: {line, ch}) to set the cursor position.
editor.setCursor({line: 1, ch: 5})
