    Notwithstanding that all command in console should be ended by Return which mean new line you can operate the some terminal operation command (tput for example) to read current cursor position than move cursor (after script execution) back to remembered coordinates.

    I don't understand what you're trying to do here. Are you trying to modify the script file? Or are you assuming that the script's output is a terminal? What do you want to do if the script isn't called directly from an interactive shell in a terminal? This sounds like an XY problem; there's a good chance that you should be writing a function and perhaps binding it to a key. What are you trying to achieve? Commented Feb 15, 2015 at 22:12
  • Do you want to emulate the completion library or make use of it to give custom completions? As Gilles says, this sounds like an XY problem, tell us what you trying to do, and see if we can figure out a solution. Commented Nov 20, 2016 at 6:16
