Question

I want to get the cursor position (row, column), such as :

But seems there is no API for this function, is there any way to implement it?

but when I execute:

you can use onDidChangeCursorSelection event to get current carret position.

sample :

 editor.onDidChangeCursorSelection(e => { console.log(e) })
