Questions tagged [caret]

Caret refers to an onscreen text-cursor. For the R package, use the [r-caret] tag. For the ASCII character, use the [punctuation] tag.

A caret is a marker in a GUI or command-line denoting the point at which to insert text, often a blinking vertical bar.

Related tags

cursor is often used in place of caret (though it can also mean a mouse cursor of database cursor, so caret is preferred).
cursor-position is similar to caret and should probably be a synonym.

Incorrect uses of the `caret` tag

Please re-tag any questions referring to the r package for machine learning as r-caret.

Please re-tag any questions about the ASCII punctuation character as punctuation.
