Enables cursor placement at normally unreachable positions. Shows a horizontal line cursor before/after tables, images, and other block elements where text cursors can’t normally go.
How to see it: Use arrow keys to navigate to the edges of tables or around block elements. The gap cursor appears as a thin horizontal line where normal cursors can’t go.

​
When Gap Cursor Appears

The gap cursor activates at positions that are:
  • Before/after tables - Add content outside table boundaries
  • Around images - Insert text before or after inline images
  • Near horizontal rules - Place cursor at hard-to-reach positions
  • Between void blocks - Navigate between non-editable elements
  • Document boundaries - Start/end of document near block elements
