Is it possible to get the character at some position in the terminal/monitor?

[TheSirHunter]

Is there a way to, for example, get the character at the position that was clicked?

You should save these characters you had written by yourself

You can try modify the window API

Don't need to modify the window API. It already has this feature.

local win = window.create(term.current(), 1, 1, term.getSize()) -- create a new window the size of the terminal.
local old = term.redirect(win) -- redirect the terminal to this object (so print and etc write to it)

-- write stuff to the screen

-- get the text, text colors, and bg colors of the given line
local text, textColor, bgColor = win.getLine(line_y)

print("char at x,y:", text:sub(x, x))
print("textColor at x,y:", textColor:sub(x,x))
print("bgColor at x,y:", bgColor:sub(x,x))
