NSResponderMBS.moveBackward

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa	MBS MacBase Plugin	8.4	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	Desktop & iOS

Implemented by subclasses to move the selection or insertion point one element or character backward.

In text, if there is a selection it should be deselected, and the insertion point should be placed at the beginning of the former selection. NSResponder declares but doesn't implement this method.

NSResponderMBS.moveBackwardAndModifySelection

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa	MBS MacBase Plugin	8.4	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	Desktop & iOS

Implemented by subclasses to expand or reduce either end of the selection backward by one element or character.

If the end being modified is the backward end, this method expands the selection; if the end being modified is the forward end, it reduces the selection. The first moveBackwardAndModifySelection: or moveForwardAndModifySelection: method in a series determines the end being modified by always expanding. Hence, this method results in the backward end becoming the mobile one if invoked first. By default, moveLeftAndModifySelection: is bound to the left arrow key.

NSResponder declares but doesn't implement this method.

NSResponderMBS.moveDown

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa	MBS MacBase Plugin	8.4	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	Desktop & iOS

method	Cocoa	MBS MacBase Plugin	8.4	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	Desktop & iOS

Implemented by subclasses to expand or reduce the top or bottom end of the selection downward by one element, character, or line (whichever is appropriate for text direction).

If the end being modified is the bottom, this method expands the selection; if the end being modified is the top, it reduces the selection. The first moveDownAndModifySelection: or moveUpAndModifySelection: method in a series determines the end being modified by always expanding. Hence, this method results in the bottom end becoming the mobile one if invoked first.

NSResponder declares but doesn't implement this method.

NSResponderMBS.moveForward

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa	MBS MacBase Plugin	8.4	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	Desktop & iOS

Implemented by subclasses to move the selection or insertion point one element or character forward.

NSResponderMBS.moveForwardAndModifySelection

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa	MBS MacBase Plugin	8.4	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	Desktop & iOS

Implemented by subclasses to expand or reduce either end of the selection forward by one element or character.

If the end being modified is the backward end, this method reduces the selection; if the end being modified is the forward end, it expands the selection. The first moveBackwardAndModifySelection: or moveForwardAndModifySelection: method in a series determines the end being modified by always expanding. Hence, this method results in the forward end becoming the mobile one if invoked first. By default, moveRightAndModifySelection: is bound to the right arrow key.

NSResponder declares but doesn't implement this method.

NSResponderMBS.moveLeftAndModifySelection

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa	MBS MacBase Plugin	8.4	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	Desktop & iOS

Implemented by subclasses to expand or reduce either end of the selection to the left (display order) by one element or character.

If the end being modified is the left end, this method expands the selection; if the end being modified is the right end, it reduces the selection. The first moveLeftAndModifySelection: or moveRightAndModifySelection: method in a series determines the end being modified by always expanding. Hence, this method results in the left end becoming the mobile one if invoked first. By default, this method is bound to the left arrow key.

NSResponder declares but doesn't implement this method.

The essential difference between this method and the corresponding moveBackwardAndModifySelection: is that the latter method moves in logical order, which can differ in bidirectional text, whereas this method moves in display order.
