On editing a cell, place the cursor where the user clicks, rather than at the end

Not really sure if this is a feature request or an Issue, please move it as you see fit.

Say i have a date in a cell written as 2017/08/01 in view mode.
When the user clicks to edit it, they want to change 08 to 09, the lick in the center of 8 and /
When the cell goes into edit mode, it places the cursor right at the end instead of between 8 and /

There is a fair amount of expectation of HoT behaving like excel (and for good reason), a client pointed out this as one of the differences which was tedious to work with.

Issue? Feature Request? any way to implement it locally?

regards,

I am sorry but there is no official API to handle cursor movements/placement, so I would rather call it a feature request.

Thank you. Pushing this into a feature request.
