Cursor
- Alternatively referred to as a caret, a cursor is a visual representation on the screen that allows the user to specify where they want text to be placed. Commonly, this cursor is a vertical flashing line more commonly known as an i-cursor.
- When referring to the mouse, the cursor is used to describe the object used to point, click, drag and drop items on a GUI operating system. See the mouse pointer definition for additional information.
