Is there a way to tell Chrome web debugger to show the current mouse position in page coordinates?

JavascriptHtmlGoogle ChromeDebugging

Javascript Problem Overview


I often debug my javascript code using the Chrome web debugger. In the elements tab, hovering over an element show a tooltip with a few pieces of information, including the width and the height of that element.

Sometimes, I need to see the page coordinates of the current mouse position. But it seems the debugger does not display this kind of information.

So, is there a way to add it? Like an extension or maybe there are other options?

EDIT

Using the accepted answer I could add the following bookmarklet and have exactly what I wanted:

javascript:document.onmousemove = function(e){var x = e.pageX;var y = e.pageY;e.target.title = "X is "+x+" and Y is "+y;};

Solution 1 - Javascript

You could type this into the console,

document.onmousemove = function(e){
var x = e.pageX;
var y = e.pageY;
e.target.title = "X is "+x+" and Y is "+y;
};

This will give you mouse position on mouse move in the element tooltip.

Solution 2 - Javascript

Combining ppsreejith's answer with JHarding's answer with Chrome 70+'s Live Expressions you can get constantly updating (x, y) coordinates without filling up the devtools console:

Enter this in the console:

var x, y; document.onmousemove=(e)=>{x=e.pageX;y=e.pageY;}

Enter this as a Live Expression:

"("+x+", "+y+")"

And this works on SVGs.

Solution 3 - Javascript

When i need to see the coordinates for my mouse, i use this Chrome addon: Coordinates addon
