Subject: Finding screen coordinates in kate
X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde-devel&m=104448190125658

Is it possible to discover the screen coordinates of the cursor in Kate? For a 
plugin I'm writing I'd like to do a KPassivePopup near the cursor, and for 
that I'll (probably?) need the screen coordinates of the cursor.

The next step is of course putting up a KPassivePopup near an 
application-defined point (as opposed to at the edge of the screen or 
somewhere out of the user's way). Is this possible without subclassing 
KPassivePopup? The moveNear() there is protected.

[redundancy:] What I'm looking for is a PassivePopup or QToolTip like window 
that the application can place anywhere on the screen and that disappears 
after a little while, that doesn't steal focus or require a click to get rid 
of. It's intended to display information about the current line in a kate 
document, which is why I need the screen coordinates from there.
