In CSS, the hand cursor is called a 'pointer' cursor, so I think that's what was intended. For anyone who hasn't internalized this, including the app's users, I imagine this is quite confusing. :)
IIUC 'regular cursor' is just the default mouse cursor. I don't think anyone meant the I-beam/text cursor, but I agree with your selection comment entirely.
- enra 5y agoYup. In css the attribute that controls the pointer is called 'cursor' these are two types are 'default' and 'pointer. [1] In MacOS these are called pointers with 'arrow' and 'pointing hand' styles [2] Not sure what Windows calls it but some googling shows them as 'standard select' and 'link select'.

- maccolgan 5y agoThere's more than two types of cursors, it's just that MacOS doesn't support anything but those two (excluding the directional cursors), and Windows supports most, and most GNU/Linux DEs support all.
