Does anyone know a portable way (portable across most terminals that is, or maybe something which can be done with tput) to read the terminal cursor x position without using curses or ncurses?
I'm asking because ksh93 has notorious problems with getting the cursor position correct if PS1-PS4 contain unusual escape sequences or characters which take more than one terminal cell (xterm256 color sequences or the unicode '...' character) which makes the set -o multiline mode unusable.
