Cursor position
This is really a minor addition and more a question of personal preference. You might have
noticed that the cursor normally is located at the end of the completed text. If you prefer
it to be at the beginning of the selected text try this...
private void highlightCompletedText(int start) {
editor.setCaretPosition(getLength());
editor.moveCaretPosition(start);
}
