Solution

1. Use the selecion $cursor that returns a resolved position and set the value of its position property to 0 in order to move the position of the Editor's cursor to the beginning.

Copy Code    editor.view.state.selection.$cursor.pos = 0;

1. Utilize the built-in focus method to focus the component.

   Copy Codethis.editor.focus();
