Any way to get/set cursor/caret location?

Hi,

Is there a way to get the current cursor/caret location and/or set the cursor/caret location in the editor's document, so insertHtml method can insert some html at the desired location (i.e. within certain element etc)?

Thanks.

Get Selected Element

Get Selected Element

var sel = editor.getSelection();
var element = sel.getStartElement();
sel.selectElement(element);

Set Range or Cursor

var ranges = editor.getSelection().getRanges();
ranges[0].setStart(element.getFirst(), 0);
ranges[0].setEnd(element.getFirst(), 0 + 5); //range
sel.selectRanges([ranges[0]]);

var ranges = editor.getSelection().getRanges();
ranges[0].setStart(element.getFirst(), 0);
ranges[0].setEnd(element.getFirst(), 0); //cursor

after that call

editor.insertHtml()
