AjaxEditableMultiLineLabel place cursor on click location
Hi,
First of all thank you to everyone for such a great framework!
My question is that when I use the AjaxEditableMultiLineLabel and click on
the displayed text the subsequent text in the textarea form element is *all*
selected, this makes it difficult to then find the place that I wanted to
edit.
Has anyone found a way to place the cursor at the location which was clicked
on in the original text and scroll the textarea to that location.
This would increase the utility of the AjaxEditableMultiLineLabel massively,
Any replies very appreciated

Hi,
This requirement sounds quite sophisticated!
Initially AEMLL is rendered in view mode - as a Label, i.e. a <span>.
When you click on this <span> then an Ajax call is made and the Label is
replaced with TextArea.
It would be challenging to set the cursor at the desired position.
Maybe it will be much simpler to use something like Summernote air mode
[1][2].
It uses <div contenteditable="true"> and all this "Just Works".
