Cursor horizontal absolute (CHA)

Category: cursor · Tags: ECMA-48 Standard · Specification ↗

CHA moves the cursor to an absolute column on the current row. The sequence is ESC [ N G where N is the 1-based column number (default 1). Unlike CUP, this only changes the horizontal position, leaving the row unchanged.
