How to get caret position (pixel x, y on the screen) #656

I have a scenario need show popover suggestion at caret location. I have used function core.getSelection() and have information about anchorNode (text), anchorOffset. The position, width height of anchorNode.parentNode is available, however I cannot find the way to get relative position(x,y) of current caret to parentNode. Is there anyway to get this position?

@phuongnh5 https://github.com/JiHong88/SunEditor/blob/master/src/lib/core.js#L5700 This is a method to designate the position of the balloon toolbar. (It is coded taking into account the case that the size of the toolbar varies depending on the screen.)

In version 3.0.0, I will add common methods related to the position of the cursor.

it seems that the provided link no longer points to the proper position in your code - could you please provide a function name or s.th. similar instead?
