How to insert some Text to current cursor position of a TextBox through JQuery and JavaScript

Process

1. Find the Current Cursor Position
2. Get the Text to be Copied
3. Set the Text Over there
4. Update the Cursor position

Here I have 2 TextBoxes and a Button. I have to Click on a certain position on a textbox and then click on the button to paste the text from the other textbox to the the position of the previous textbox.

Main issue here is that getting the current cursor position where we will paste the text.

//Textbox on which to be pasted


//Textbox from where to be pasted



//Button on which click the text to be pasted
