Show Mouse Position
===================
A little GUI tool that shows the current mouse position, i.e. the X any Y coordinates
of your mouse pointer. The coordinates are updated as you move the mouse.
Motivation
----------
I made this tool to facilitate work with [pyautogui](https://github.com/asweigart/pyautogui).
Screenshots
-----------
The idea is to let it run in a corner and read the mouse coordinates when needed.
Usage
-----
Start it in a terminal because it can print the mouse coordinates
to the standard output.
The program has the following shortcuts:
```
Ctrl+H this help
Ctrl+Q quit
Ctrl+P print mouse coordinates on stdout
Ctrl+S, Ctrl+- print separator on stdout
Ctrl+Enter print a new line on stdout
Ctrl+L clear screen
Ctrl+C copy mouse coordinates to clipboard
```
Supported Platforms
-------------------
I tried it under Linux and Windows, but it should also work on macOS.
