Re: GTK3 -- query mouse pointer coordinates for keyboard input?

["Jasper St. Pierre" <jstpierre mecheye net>]

It doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with using the deprecated methods, then. File a bug with the Ruby GTK3 bindings, and continue using window.get_pointer(); for now would be my suggestion.

I guess current GTK3 Ruby bindings do not allow event_get_device() for
keyboard events :-(

Maybe

https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkWindow.html#gtk-window-get-screen

followed by

https://developer.gnome.org/gdk2/stable/GdkScreen.html#gdk-screen-get-display

followed by

https://developer.gnome.org/gdk2/stable/GdkDisplay.html#gdk-display-get-pointer

may give me the current mouse coordinates of pointer in my drawing area?

Best regards,
