I don't know if you can do that by code, I've seens posts about this "cursor" before, use the search option and look for something related to typewriter

Nope, there is no satisfying answer in those post, they'r about the typewriter effect. However Thank you for your reply.

It's not perfect but does what you want if want to move it's index.

Awesome "Noncentz", it take me several hours to understand what i'm doing but i have adapted your code (the selectionStart part) to text-area and it works !!!! Thank u, now i hope to do the same for the insert "option"....

Amazing pluggin, i keep it for further works... Really good dude, how can i give u point of reputation ?

For now here's a behavior, that should do that for textbox. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/139 ... terpos.zip ...

Noncentz705 , I modified your behavior to work with wordwrapping. Just have to include the lineBreak expression in an event like shown in the example capx. Hope you don't mind.
