Get row and column number from mouse coordinates

Question

I use Ace for my text editor in a browser.

editor.on("mousemove", function (e) { // use clientX clientY to get row and column locations }); 

In clientX clientY coordinates, I need the actual row and column number in the editor.

Looking at Ace api but can't find anything related.

Do you know how I can achieve this?

thanks

Found.

 editor.on("mousemove", function (e) { var position = e.getDocumentPosition(); }); 

found that he was looking for an event object in the chrome debugger.
