y?: number,
): this

dy: number,
): this

The `rl.moveCursor()` method adds to the internal list of pending action an action that moves the cursor _relative_ to its current position in the associated `stream`. Call `rl.commit()` to see the effect of this method, unless `autoCommit: true` was passed to the constructor.
