Here is a proposal for caret index. It would be nice to have access to it in many cases. I assume it is just an oversight not to include it already. Allowing to set the caret is an optional bonus.
Example requirement:
If I want to create a TextInput for an integer with a restricted number of digits, but I want to allow negative values, I need to know the caret index to ensure users can not input a dash/minus sign at an arbitrary index when typing.
