cursor issues on ie with date separator

[checkin247]

Issue is related to IE,
Tested on IE and Chrome

I am using some logic to automatically add a separator on keyboard input for date separator.

Using the real keyboard there is no issue.
With mottie keyboard, the cursor moves back one position before the separator.
I also tried to add the separator with the typing extension....
I also tried kb.caret('end')

The only solution (after trying a lot) was using a jQuery plugin to move cursor to the end.

I implemented it with

$("input").on('focus', function(e){
	$(this).putCursorAtEnd();
});

Maybe this helps someone or there is a built in function to overcome this issue

Hi @checkin247!

There is a built-in function to move the caret. It is as you mentioned kb.caret('end'). I think it isn't working because you need to update the last position – I'll update the internal function to do this automatically.

The problem is that this keyboard plugin isn't 100% compatible with masking plugins. They both will fight for caret control (see #201). Also mentioned in that issue is the problem with using mask plugins with screen readers and a possible solution.
