dart-get-active-location

To get the current cursor position in a Dart IDE, retrieve the active editor location. This provides the exact line and column number of your cursor for context-aware automation.

Active editor location retrieval is used to obtain precise cursor positions and text selections. It enables context-aware tooling, allowing refactoring tools or AI assistants to apply changes exactly where you work.

Yes, getting the active editor location requires a successful Dart tooling daemon connection. You must execute connect_dart_tooling_daemon beforehand to establish the communication needed for retrieving cursor context.

Yes, you can retrieve highlighted text selection ranges from a connected editor. The location retrieval mechanism provides selection awareness by identifying the currently highlighted text range for code analysis.

Cursor position retrieval fails if the Dart tooling daemon is not connected. Ensure the connect_dart_tooling_daemon prerequisite executes successfully first to establish the required editor communication channel.
