While this is definitely interesting and useful it's not the mouse position that we're looking for but the text cursor position.
However I think this put me on the right track. So c.frame.body.widget.cursorRect() will provide something like: PyQt4.QtCore.QRect(52, 4, 3, 26) if that were assigned to variable qr1 you could get the x and y coords via qr1.x() and qr1.y() I believe the method *c.frame.body.widget.mapToGlobal()* provides what i'm looking for, the example usage would be: *c.frame.body.widget.mapToGlobal(QPoint(qr1.x(), qr1.y())* I haven't fully tested this out but the numbers I'm getting out look right. If anyone else has any comments let me know. I'll try to integrate this into a new Leo command I've been working on and keep you updated.
