Search: Home key moves true caret but not visual caret

When using the search feature of the Astral Tome, the visual caret is always at the end, even when the edit position is not. This misleads players about what effect their behaviors will have.

Versions

Astral Sorcery: 1.13.1
Minecraft: 1.16.4
Forge: 35.1.4

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open Astral Tome
  2. Click to search bar
  3. Type abc
  4. Press the Home key on your keyboard
  5. Type 123

Expected behavior

Either:

  • Text will show 123abc, and the insertion caret will visually show between 123 and abc.
  • Text will show abc123, and the insertion caret will visually show at the end, after abc123.

Actual behavior

Text will show 123abc, and the insertion caret will visually show at the end, after 123abc.

The misplaced cursor gets even more confusing if you close the Astral Tome, open it again later, and try to use Backspace to remove your search query.

For the moment i will remove this feature as it'd also mean redoing a bunch of the rendering around text inputs.
Since it's "short" text input and not longer text that'd require quick navigation around big blocks of things, i don't consider it a critical feature right now. This might see full implementation in 1.17 when GUI things in minecraft get more streamlined.
