C# Linux Console - Get cursor position

Question

I just changed to linux and I'm trying to make a simple
application with C# console, but I even can't take the console cursor position.

---

In windows I use:

public Pointer get() {
  Point pos = new Point();
  GetCursorPos(ref pos);
  return pos;
}

[DllImport("user32.dll")]
static extern bool SetCursorPos(int X, int Y);

[DllImport("user32.dll")]
static extern bool GetCursorPos(ref Point lpPoint);

But of curse it doesn't work on linux.

---

How can I do that in linux?

Answer 1

You can use Console.SetCursorPosition

An example would be like this:

Console.Clear(); //this clears the console
Console.SetCursorPosition(Console.CursorLeft, Console.CursorTop); //this sets back to beginning

You can get the current position with this:

var CurrentCursorPositionConsole = Console.GetCursorPosition();
