set cursor position

[d3rek]

Is there any API to set cursor position?

It's possible to somehow set cursor position based on clientX and
clientY data?

Does not appear to be, based on the source for selection.js.

Looks like you can perform a reach-around:

editor.getSession().getSelection().selectionLead.setPosition(2,3);

What about editor.moveCursorTo() and moveCursorToPosition()?

Whoops, I totally missed that. (Why on earth is the API for getting the cursor position buried deep, but set cursor is at the top level, not even on the session?)
