Let's say `caretWidth / 2` is 5, and that would be position we would show the
prompt text if it doesn't fit.
If the `newX` calculation is less than 5, but greater than 0, the prompt text
would be further to the left than you'd expect.
So I think this line should be:
Suggestion:
if (newX > caretWidth / 2) {
Probably best to put that in a local variable.

I get the impression this code also needs to use `caretWidth / 2` instead of
`0` and `1`.
ie:
Suggestion:
// Update if there is space on the right
if (newX + textNodeWidth <= textRight.get() - caretWidth / 2) {
textTranslateX.set(newX);
} else if (newX < caretWidth / 2 && oldX > caretWidth / 2) {
textTranslateX.set(caretWidth / 2);
}
It would only work for very narrow caret's otherwise, and for wide caret's it
would have some unexpected positioning in the edge case where text almost fits.

Similar comment, I don't think its correct. It's just odd that promptNewX may
be smaller than caretWidth / 2 but is accepted, but when the text is too wide
the "minimum" value suddently is caretWidth / 2.
Also, I don't see how `promptOldX` has any relevance when it comes to
positioning the prompt. I think this is only relevant for the actual text
(because it can scroll depending on where the cursor is), not for the prompt --
unless the prompt can be scrolled as well. If that's the case then the
`CENTER` case may need to be updated to take `promptOldX` into account as well.
As it stands currently, they have behaviors that seem to conflict.

Again, I don't think its correct. It's just odd that `newX` may be smaller
than `caretWidth / 2` but is accepted, but when the text is too wide the
"minimum" value suddenly is `caretWidth / 2`.
