TextField's current focus position in flutter

Hey I have a TextField and a controller for it through which I access its current text value and add some text like (Some Special Asterix or text with angular brackets just like hashnode's text editor) to it when needed, adding text at the end is easy.

controller.text += "Something";

The above code will add Something to the end. But I need to know the current TextFields Cursor position and add text according to it. I really love to know how we can do it in flutter efficiently

Try this to get the cursor position

print(controller.selection.baseOffset);
print(controller.selection.extentOffset);

if they are the same, it is current cursor position. if not, it means that some of text is selected, baseOffset is start position and extentOffset is end positon.
