Is there a way to see my coordinates?

When I am in F11 mode, is there a way to see my world coordinates? I know when i select an object you can read its coordinates, but I was wondering if there was a way to always see either the camera's or avatar's coordinates, as they update.

The simplest way might be to add a GuiTextCtrl to the game editor and every second or so update it with the camera position.

a smoother way would be to add something like that to the rendering of the Editor guiCtrl. I think it's EditorTSCtrl ? Check out guiShapeNameHud for an example of drawing text during guiCtrl rendering.
