While editing text, you always see a blinking line. This is called the text cursor. When you type something, the letters always appear where this text cursor is positioned.
You can move the text cursor anywhere between the beginning and end of the text. The direction keys on the keyboard are provided for this purpose. For example, the arrow keys ß and à move the text cursor one character to the left or right respectively.
Overall, the following direction keys are available for moving the text cursor:
Key |
Function |
ß |
One character to the left |
à |
One character to the right |
á |
One line up |
â |
One line down |
Home |
To the beginning of the line |
End |
To the end of the line |
Ctrl+á |
To the beginning of the current paragraph or, when pressed again, to the previous paragraph |
Ctrl+â |
To the next paragraph |
Ctrl+Home |
To the beginning of the document |
Ctrl+End |
To the end of the document |
Apart from that, you can also click on any part of the text with your mouse to position the text cursor there.
Android/iOS: In these versions, you can also simply tap on the desired position with your finger.
