Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

(Sorry for blank post)Can't make edit work under Firefox.

I am trying to find how to find the cursor position on the screen *within a program* and how to place it in a given position on the monitor.

Thank you TJ. In reply to anyone thinking 'Why doesn't he read the manual?" I searched for locate, position, cursor... but without success. Got it now!

Linux or Mac ?

Firefox 79.0 / Win10x64 edits/posts fine for me.

The cursor is nowhere until you tell it where it is, right? It's wherever you left it.
