Hi,

I am looking for a function which can get the cursor coordinate.

So I can bind this function to a key, for example, spaceBar.

After that when I press the spaceBar the current cursor position are displayed.

I can see "x" and "y" already showed on Virtuoso status banner. But I don't how to get it.

Anybody know how to do this?

Thanks.
