NavigationFilter can be used to restrict where the cursor can
be positioned. When the default cursor positioning actions attempt to
reposition the cursor they will call into the
NavigationFilter, assuming
the JTextComponent has a non-null
NavigationFilter set. In this manner
the NavigationFilter can effectively restrict where the
cursor can be positioned. Similarly DefaultCaret will call
into the NavigationFilter when the user is changing the
selection to further restrict where the cursor can be positioned.
Subclasses can conditionally call into supers implementation to restrict
where the cursor can be placed, or call directly into the
FilterBypass.

- DefaultCaret

Returns the next visual position to place the caret at from an
existing position. The default implementation simply forwards the
method to the root View. Subclasses may wish to further restrict the
location based on additional criteria.
Params: - text – JTextComponent containing text
- pos – Position used in determining next position
- bias – Bias used in determining next position
- direction – the direction from the current position that can
be thought of as the arrow keys typically found on a keyboard.
This will be one of the following values:
- SwingConstants.WEST
- SwingConstants.EAST
- SwingConstants.NORTH
- SwingConstants.SOUTH
- biasRet – Used to return resulting Bias of next position
Throws: - BadLocationException –
- IllegalArgumentException – if
direction
doesn't have one of the legal values above
Returns: the location within the model that best represents the next
location visual position
