Add the letters to the end in a textarea

Question

I want to add the newly entered key board inputs at the end of the current wordings in the textarea even the user tries to put the cursor in the middle.

I tried it on a textarea. I tried the onfocus method. then the cursor goes to the end of the line. but still user can manually take the cursor to the middle of the sentence and enter. I want to avoid that. I have dissabled the right, left, up, down arrow keys — gecco, Apr 05 '15 at 07:00
Btw to whom unrated the question, I did my research before adding the question. I tried my best and couldn't find anything which matches my requirements. I just cant add all the ulrs I tried here. — gecco, Apr 05 '15 at 07:06

Try this fragment of code it worked for me. jsfiddle here

  $("#InputAtLast").keyup(function(e) {
    this.selectionStart = this.selectionEnd = this.value.length;
  });
  $("#InputAtLast").focus(function(e) {
    this.selectionStart = this.selectionEnd = this.value.length;
  });
  $("#InputAtLast").click(function(e) {
    this.selectionStart = this.selectionEnd = this.value.length;
  });
