(General/NSPoint)mouseLocation

Exports the current mouse position, in screen coordinates. Similar to General/NSWindow�s mouseLocationOutsideOfEventStream, this method returns the location regardless of the current event or pending events. The difference between these methods is that mouseLocationOutsideOfEventStream returns a point in the receiving window�s coordinates and mouseLocation returns the same information in screen coordinates. *
