Hi There,
In the paragraph:

In the case of Selection.anchorNode being another type of node, Selection.anchorOffset returns the number of Node.childNodes the selection's focus is offset within the Selection.anchorNode.

it seems to me that the word "focus" might be confusing.
Actually, it confused me and prompted me to re-read it all.
Because "focus" is associated with the end of the selection.

Regards, and thanks for the excellent work.

What did you expect to see?

Something like "selection start".

Do you have any supporting links, references, or citations?

No response

Do you have anything more you want to share?

Regards, and thanks for the excellent work.

Hi, thanks for opening this issue. I'd like to help resolve it.
Let's discuss which version is better? Or just change to "selection start" ?
