Report current cursor position relative to /camrotate and /camtranslate

[dandrewstewart]

Could we have an OSC address space for reading the current cursor position and sending to App? Importantly, if the cursor position data could be sent in relation to /camrotate and /camtranslate, that would be fantastic. Alternatively, a cursor position relative to the "frame" of the screen might work; however, using /camrotate and /camtranslate would help me to be more accurate, yes?

The effect I would like: I want to be able to send an OSC message from my App to reposition the cursor easily and quickly – similar to "/panic". Plus, ideally, I want the text to "glide" to the new position – not suddenly pop to the position. If I have cursor date relative to /camrotate and /camtranslate, I believe I can use Max to create the smooth transition

NOTE: The number of this is Issue is "4.1". This doesn't mean it is related to Issue 4.2. Instead, my number system is to help us see the priority of messages. Github must have some way of prioritising messages, in addition to what's in the "Sort" column, yes? Being able to assign each issue a specific rank (number) would be useful and then, I'd simply like to click-hold and drag the Issues into the correct order the corresponds to priority. All my best

• I guess you want to come back to the position where the cursor is. is this right?

• do you want the perspective to be "centered"?

• I am in the process of drawing the actual cursor (like any text editor that you would see). Does this help you in any way?

• regarding the numbering, I think the right thing to do is to create a label that says "priority" and then you pick N issues that you want me to resolve first (regardless how long it takes) and then if I clear one of them you pick another one and so forth. N can be 2 or 3 I think.

If that works, it would be nice to get rid of the numbering in issues. The number is bit confusing with its own index number of each issue

OR we could create three different labels (Level A / B and C) .

You can create any label you want here: https://github.com/panavrin/live-writing-osc/labels and let me know how you would use it.

Yes to all of your questions:

• You want to come back to the position where the cursor is
  Yes, please

• Do you want the perspective to be "centred"
  Actually, a position in the upper lefthand quadrant would be good. Do, to the left of centre and bit higher. I know this sounds like an "approximate" position, but maybe I could give you feedback once this is implemented?

• Drawing the actual cursor
  Yes – excellent and cool. Command-line / early terminal cool, yes? However, could we send an additional OSC from App to activate/deactivate the cursor appearance?
