There is a topic where another forum member was trying something similar. > [@Get caret position from text input](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/get-caret-position-from-text-input/55786/4): > > Hi, thanks, but I checked that we are using Perspective not Vision. I am trying to call it at Text Input. We built alphanumeric keyboard as a component so we dont use the tablet mode keyboard on touchscreen. So I dont know if its possible but it would be great work it like that, Text input is focused - touch of the button (lets say key A) and it checks caretp position and adds a key. I am afraid that when I touch the button, the focus is lost from Text input so the caret position would not work… While it may be possible, its certainly not going to be easy or clean. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/cursor-position-in-text-field/56980)._
