# Get Cursor Location



The **Get Cursor Location** block retrieves the current cursor position on a Green Screen session as **row and column coordinates**, so you can reuse that position in other Green Screen blocks.

**Note:** The Green Screen Recorder and Green Screen building blocks are available with Enterprise plans.

Fully expanded, the **Get Cursor Location** block shows the following properties:

**Note:** The screenshot on this page uses the **Elegance Design** , introduced in **2025.3**. If you are using an earlier version, your layout may look different.

## Quick-start

1. Drag **Get Cursor Location** onto the canvas.

2. Connect its **input** from the previous block and its **output** to the next block.

3. Run the flow.

## Building block parameters

Parameters  
* **Block header:** Shows the current title of the **Get Cursor Location** block. You can rename it by double-clicking the header and typing a new title. The green input connector triggers the block when the flow reaches it, and the green output connector triggers when the cursor location is fetched successfully.

* **Position:** Returns the cursor location as a position value (row/column). You can expand it to work with the coordinates separately.

* **Not found:** Triggers if the cursor location cannot be retrieved before the timeout.

* **Default timeout:** If unchecked, the timeout is **10 seconds** unless you change it manually. If checked, the block uses the **Default timeout** defined in the flow settings (under **Max. run time** ).

* **Timeout** : The maximum time spent trying to retrieve the cursor location before giving up and triggering **Not found** . This value is used when **Default timeout** is unchecked (default is **10 seconds** unless changed manually).
