I want to set cursor position manually to specific position in ckeditor. I have implemented short keys on some key press i am adding text using set data in ckeditor(ex. if i type "RnD+Space", it will replace with "research and development "). The problem is that after set data cursor will set to last at the end of all text. I want cursor will be there, where the text is replaced. Is this possible?

Try insertHTML instead of setData...

Thanks for reply @Kornfeld Eliyahu Peter.
I don't know how to remove existing text(ex. if i have typed "eo+Space", then it will insert "Evolution of+Space" the word will become "eo Evolution of ").
I will not able to remove existing text that's why i have choose to go with "SetData".

Here's an undocumented hack you might want to play around with:

var selection = editor.getSelection();
var bookmarks = selection.createBookmarks(true);

// change / replace / delete text in editor

var range = selection.getRanges()[0];
range.moveToBookmark(bookmarks[0]);
range.select();
