在Shiny R中的TextAreaInput中找到插入位置

Question

我正在努力解决这个问题。我在Shiny中有一个textAreaInput字段，我希望用户能够将光标定位在该字段中的文本中，单击一个按钮，然后在该位置粘贴其他文本。我正在努力弄清楚如何在点击按钮时找到该文本字段中的插入位置。我认为这可能需要一个java解决方案 - 但我没有运气让这个工作。非常感谢任何提示。

这是我的代码

server.R

library(shiny)
library(shinydashboard)
library(shinyjs)

shinyServer(function(input, output, session){

output$narrOut <- renderText({
if (input$updtext == 0)
  return("")
isolate({
  tmpchunk<-gsub("\n","<br/>",input$uplchunk)
  gsub("        ","&emsp;",tmpchunk)
})
})

observeEvent(input$symMicr,{
bthing<-js$cursPos(input$uplchunk) #just returns NULL
 updateTextAreaInput(session, inputId = "uplchunk", value = paste(input$uplchunk , "&micro;",sep="")) #just appends symbol at the end of the text... I would like to insert at the cursor position
})

})

ui.R

library(shiny)
library(shinydashboard)
library(shinyjs)


jsCode <- "
shinyjs.cursPos = function(el) {
var pos = 0;
if (document.selection) 
{
  el.focus ();
  var Sel = document.selection.createRange();
  var SelLength = document.selection.createRange().text.length;
  Sel.moveStart ('character', -el.value.length);
  pos = Sel.text.length - SelLength;
}
else if (el.selectionStart || el.selectionStart == '0')
pos = el.selectionStart;
return pos;
}"
