Ace editor: How to get position of keyboard event

Currently, I am getting events whenever any key is pressed in my ace editor, via this javascript code:

editor.keyBinding.addKeyboardHandler({
    handleKeyboard: function(data, hash, keyString, keyCode, event) {

keyString contains the actual key pressed, but how do I find the position (i.e. row and column) of where the key event took place?

You could use 

 var currentPosition = editor.selection.getCursor();

You could use the currentPosition to find the row and column position where the key event took place. (currentPosition.row and currentPosition.column)

Key event doesn't take place in any position, but in the editor as a whole.

You can use editor.getCursorPosition() to find the position of the cursor.
