I’m using a TextEdit box to add messages about what’s happening during a game as per the function below. Is it possible to automatically scroll up when adding a new message at the end to ensure the last message is visible?

func add_message(msg):
  get_node("../MessageBox").insert_text_at_cursor(msg + "\n")
