Let's assume there is a text-area (or a simple input of type text) and the user types something.
How can I get the x / y coordinates of the cursor to position, as example, a div direct above the cursor.

You can use `selectionStart`, like answered here : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4928586/get-caret-position-in-html-input For textAreas, you can get the coordinated by counting the caracters (for example). – Seblor Jun 20 '18 at 13:22
