Specification https://www.w3.org/TR/cssom-view-1/#dom-document-caretpositionfrompoint Summary This new API allows users to get current caret position from a given screen point. The API returns a CaretPosition object which represents the caret position indicating current text insertion point including the containing DOM node, caret's character offset, and the client rectangle of caret range. The API also supports get CaretPosition inside Shadow DOM. Blink component Blink>CSS <https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/list?q=component:Blink%3ECSS> TAG review None TAG review status Not applicable. This qualifies for an exception - has already shipped in another browser. Risks Interoperability and Compatibility Gecko already implemented the API. Webkit/Blink didn't implement it. The interop risk is that it's unclear at this moment about Webkit's position on this. We won't be able to achieve full interop with this API if Webkit isn't willing to support this API. There is a compat risk too if we decided to deprecate the old API: https://crbug.com/690599 *Gecko*: Shipped/Shipping *WebKit*: No signal ( https://github.com/WebKit/standards-positions/issues/301) *Web developers*: Positive ( https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=388976#c34) Web developers are asking to have document.caretPositionFromPoint API implemented in Blink: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=388976#c28 https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=388976#c34 *Other signals*: WebView application risks Does this intent deprecate or change behavior of existing APIs, such that it has potentially high risk for Android WebView-based applications? None Goals for experimentation Get feedback from web developers and assess whether the API meets developer needs. Ongoing technical constraints None Debuggability None Will this feature be supported on all six Blink platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, ChromeOS, Android, and Android WebView)? Yes Is this feature fully tested by web-platform-tests <https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/docs/testing/web_platform_tests.md> ? The API is tested for main DOM in WPT: https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/blob/c18cfd4eb319ca535db8c194941719598b3b6ea8/css/cssom/caretPositionFromPoint.html Will add additional tests including cases for Shadow DOM scenario once https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/9932 is resolved.
