Change cursor start position?

[jsjoeio]

Hi! Thanks for making this library.

Is there a way to change where the cursor starts? I tried creating an EditorState with a selection value but that didn't seem to do it:

I cannot seem to get view or state in the useCodeMirror hook to work. What am I doing wrong?

const defaultView = new EditorView({
  state: EditorState.create({
    doc: `hello world!
who doesn't love relative line numbers?`,
    extensions: [vim(), lineNumbersRelative()],
    selection: EditorSelection.cursor(5),
    parent: document.querySelector("#editor")
  })
});

export default function App() {
  const editor = useRef();
  const { setContainer, view } = useCodeMirror({
    view: defaultView,
    container: editor.current
  });
  useEffect(() => {
    if (editor.current) {
      setContainer(editor.current);
    }
    // eslint-disable-next-line react-hooks/exhaustive-deps
  }, [editor.current]);
  return (
    <div>
      <div id="editor" ref={editor} />
    </div>
  );
}

Nevermind, I think TypeScript was showing me the wrong props for some reason. After looking under the hood, I saw selection.

Got it working :D

  const { setContainer } = useCodeMirror({
    autoFocus: true,
    selection: EditorSelection.cursor(5),
    container: editor.current,
    extensions: [vim(), lineNumbersRelative(), javascript()],
    value: code
  });

  const { setContainer } = useCodeMirror({
    autoFocus: true,
    selection: EditorSelection.cursor(0),
    container: editor.current,
    extensions: [vim()/**, lineNumbersRelative() */, javascript()],
    value: code
  });

Took some of your code, but cursor never appears at the start? @jsjoeio

@Qodestackr did you try the codesandbox linked there? just tried and it works
