 Move the cursor to the left/right end of the editable field, respectively. These are shorthand for [`.moveToDirEnd(L/R)`](#movetodirenddirection), respectively.
 
-## .movetoDirEnd(direction)
+## .moveToDirEnd(direction)
 
 Moves the cursor to the end of the mathfield in the direction specified. The direction can be one of `MQ.L` or `MQ.R`. These are constants, where `MQ.L === -MQ.R` and vice versa. This function may be easier to use than [moveToLeftEnd or moveToRightEnd](#movetoleftend-movetorightend) if used in the [`moveOutOf` handler](Config.md#outof-handlers).
