TypewriterCursor<T>

CLASS

Represents a cursor within a Typewriter.

Note: when `initialize` is called on a `Typewriter` all cursors are reset, and the previously attached cursors become detached, this means that the positions of the cursors are no longer accurate.

You should never instantiate a `TypewriterCursor` directly. It should always be given to you by the `Typewriter`.

Since 1.2.0

Constructor

Creates an TypewriterCursor which belongs to the given Typewriter.

Note: you should never create instances of TypewriterCursor yourself. You are supposed to let the Typewriter do this for you.

If the cursor also has a `selection`, the `position` will always either on the `start` or `end` of the `selection`.

selection

TypewriterCursorSelection
