Set Value for ace editor without selecting the whole editor

Question

So you can set value of an ace editor with setValue but after setting the value, the editor will select the whole value of the editor. How do you disable this? This

Answer 1

I've been having your same issue.

Even though you can set the second parameter to either 1 or -1, I think you should also check this: https://ace.c9.io/api/editor.html#Editor.setValue

Editor.setWrapBehavioursEnabled(Boolean enabled)

Use this right after creating the editor.

This works very well for me. The difference between this method and the one shared by a user is that the caret's position is not changed, you can move it yourself using Editor.selection.moveTo(row, column), this way the user won't experience weird caret position changes when using, say, CTRL+Z to undo an action :)
