Edit:

After catching the event of cursor- need also to check if cursor change his position (also have to work for IE6)

Answer 1

There are essentially three events that can cause a cursor to change position,

1. keystrokes

2. mouse clicks

3. programmatic events like paste, select, focus...

   I would capture those events for whatever it is you are trying to accomplish with 'cursor place change'

code sample added:

$("#myTextInput").bind("keydown click focus", function() {
  alert("Current position: " + $(this).caret().start);
});

Answer 2

I've found that the select event seems to cover all changes to caret position.
