How To Control Cursor On Output Screen With KeyBoard And Mouse

so this is a code im writing, and i what i wish is that when i press a specific key a specific task is performed, i was doing perfectly fine until the mouse hit me (not literally :v), now what i want is that when i left click on the screen the program should get coordinates of the screen and then the cursorrow and cursorcolumn should be updated. the function im using is glitching a bit, i gets stuck usually, help me get a better way,
P.S : trying to make a text editor. these are just the initial steps.
also please suggest me features that the program shall have, ty
