## Definition

* **Type:** Method

* **Assembly:** UnityEngine.UIElementsModule

```csharp
void MoveBackward()
```

### Remarks

The cursor moves according to the logical text indices, which might differ from their visual order on screen, especially with right-to-left text. This API uses the visualElement's style to compute the result, so calling it before the styles are computed might return an incorrect value.
