    Description

      Currently, the documentation of the cursorPosition is very short; even too short for power users:

      The position of the cursor in the TextInput.

      Can't we be a little bit more specific as to which position of the TextInput it refers to? What are the measurement units of this int – bytes/characters(graphemes)/glyphs? How to use from JavaScript methods that operate on Strings? How does it correlate with text vs. preeditText vs. displayText properties?
