Move Cursor

UiPath.Terminal.Advanced.Activities.TerminalMoveCursor

Description​

Moves the cursor position to a specified location.

The activity is valid only inside a Terminal Session activity.

note

This activity may fail if the VT family of terminals is being used, either with the Direct Connection provider or with a provider using a 3rd party terminal emulator, like IBM EHLLAPI. This happens because the VT family of terminals manages the cursor position on the application side, not on the front-end. In order to avoid this, use alternative ways of moving the cursor location, like Send Control Key with Tab.
