In sublime text when i find some text using regex assuming START.*END where i want to find text between START and END words.

Now after findind we see the cursor is located after the END word. Is it possible to put the cursor before START word

Or is there a keyboard shortcut which can bring the cursor to ahead of START.

Because if i do CTRL + LEFT it will take me to the next . (dot) or space etc

If i do HOME then it will go to the beginning of the line

If cursor is located at END, then you can press Home button to move the cursor before start. – Nilesh Shinde
that will go to the beginning to the line – Santhosh
The find always puts the cursor after the found text and as far as I know there's no way to change that (short of maybe using a third party search plugin or something). However whenever text is selected, if you press Left or Right the cursor will jump to that end of the selection. So in this case if you do the search, as long as the text is still selected just pressing Left once should get you where you want to be. – OdatNurd

As user @OdatNurd mention in comments, after you search and select all occurrences, press Left or Right arrow to go to beginning or end of selection.

Example: after selecting all occurrences, press Left to go to the beginning of a selection and edit.
