How do I move the cursor to the end of the document?

Question

I want to move the cursor to the end of the document in the beginning of my script. How do I do that?

I already know how to move the cursor to the beginning of the document as described here.

Answer 1

You can try something like this:

function setCursorToEnd() {
  var doc = DocumentApp.getActiveDocument();
 var paragraph = doc.getBody().appendParagraph('');
 var position = doc.newPosition(paragraph, 0);
 doc.setCursor(position);
}

It might not be the most efficient way though

Answer 2

For a document that is used somewhat as a log, where content is always added to the bottom, I use an onOpen function and position the cursor at the last paragraph:

function onOpen() {
  var doc = DocumentApp.getActiveDocument();
  var paragraphs = doc.getBody().getParagraphs();
  var position = doc.newPosition(paragraphs[paragraphs.length-1], 0);
  doc.setCursor(position);
}
