Caret position

Open matteocontrini opened this issue 10 years ago • 3 comments

Hi, I have a feature request: getting the current caret/text cursor position. Is this possible?

Thanks

My intuition tells me that caret position is the editor internal knowledge. I am pretty sure it will be impossible to get caret position form system in general case.have you made some research on that? Probably there is some Winodws API for that? Please let me know if yes.

I have found this project, but it's a bit old and not much precise. It kinda works in notepad, but not in browsers for example. I'm not sure if the system exposes that information globally and reliably..

Any updates on how to get the caret position in external application like browsers?
