Set Value for ace editor without selecting the whole editor

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 mean when I set value of ace editor to Hello world, it won't highlight Hello world

Solution 1:

You can use the second parameter to control cursor position after setValue

editor.setValue(str, -1) // moves cursor to the start
editor.setValue(str, 1) // moves cursor to the end

Solution 2:

You can even use clearSelection() after you do an setValue();

editor.setValue("Hello World");
editor.clearSelection(); // This will remove the highlight over the text

Solution 3:

This works for me!

editor.setValue(editor.getValue(), 1);
