Hi Celal, I don´t have a squeak image at hand so I can't give you exact
names or working code, but what you need need to do is to check the class
ParagraphEditor (or something like that).

The text cursor (the caret) in Squeak is what in the text input classes is
called an editor. The caret, is not really a cursor but a visual
representation of the selection, which when has a size 0 looks like a normal
cursor.

Look at the ParagraphEditor and look at the method categories, and you will
surely find methods that deals with cursor movement. Actually, somewhere in
there you will find the exact code that is executed each time an arrow key
is pressed.

Regards,
Hernán
