Move text-cursor of QsciScintilla to the left or right in PyQt5

I was wondering what specific commands I can execute to move a text cursor in QsciScintilla to the left or right? I know for a QPlainTextEdit, you can execute the commands:

self.textEdit.moveCursor(QTextCursor.Left)

or:

self.textEdit.moveCursor(QTextCursor.Right)

Are there any similar commands for QsciScintilla?

I tried:

# left cursor movement
line, index = self.sci.getCursorPosition()
if index == 0 and line != 0:
   #move to back line
elif index != 0: 
   self.sci.setCursorPosition(line, index - 1)

There's two ways to do this:

1. Using the low-level api to send keyboard commands directly to the underlying scintilla editor:

   • Move Left

       self.sci.SendScintilla(Qsci.QsciScintillaBase.SCI_CHARLEFT)
     

   • Move Right

       self.sci.SendScintilla(Qsci.QsciScintillaBase.SCI_CHARRIGHT)
     

2. Using the high-level api to set the line and index explictly:

   • Move Left

       line, index = self.sci.getCursorPosition()
       if index:
           self.sci.setCursorPosition(line, index - 1)
       elif line:
           self.sci.setCursorPosition(
               line - 1, self.sci.lineLength(line - 1) - 1)
     

   • Move Right

       line, index = self.sci.getCursorPosition()
       if index < self.sci.lineLength(line):
           self.sci.setCursorPosition(line, index + 1)
       elif line < self.sci.lines():
           self.sci.setCursorPosition(line + 1, 0)
