Is there a way to access the map coordinates show in qgis status bar? I found only this,
iface.mainWindow().statusBar().currentMessage()
But I know it's not the way.
Or is there any way to capture the coordinates when cursor moves on map?

You can get what you see down there using these methods:
iface.mapCanvas().extent().center()
iface.mapCanvas().extent().toString()

Thank you very much. I want to automatically change a QTextBrowser with that value when cursor moves on map. Is there any way I can do it? any signal to emit when cursor moves?– DilCommented Jun 11, 2014 at 10:43

Can you please help me to write that line.I'm very new to this field. I wrote one for mouse click event and it works. 'QObject.connect(self.clickTool, SIGNAL("canvasClicked(const QgsPoint &, Qt::MouseButton)"), self.handleMouseDown)' Can you please help me to write same like this for cursor movements.– DilCommented Jun 11, 2014 at 11:10
