i want to display cursor position in real time

[matt richards]

im trying to display the cursor position in real time, but i cant figure out how to do this

i know to get the cursor position, im using editor.getCursorPosition();

i current have a mouse down event registered on the initial element passed to ace editor

and a keydown event registered

on each event i get the cursor position and display, it semi-works

when i use the cursor keys these events do not bubble up to my handlers, although normal keystrokes do

is there another way to go about this, is there a reason why the certain keyboard events are cancelled

[matt richards]

as an edit, i use the keyup events and it works, it seems that just the keydown events are cancelled

You can use changeSelection event similar to the statusbar extension in ace https://github.com/ajaxorg/ace/blob/master/src/ext/statusbar.js#L17
