Get current cursor position Neovim Lua

Use the command nvim_win_get_cursor():

local position = vim.api.nvim_win_get_cursor(0)

Takes in one argument, the handle for a given window. Use 0 to mean the current window

Returns a tuple of (row, col). Meaning you can extract just the row number with position[1].

You can unpack() to get both of them:

local row, column = unpack(vim.api.nvim_win_get_cursor(0))

See :h nvim_win_get_cursor() for more
