cursorpõhist

The term "cursorpõhist" is an Estonian word that translates to "cursor-based" in English. It generally refers to a method of interaction or data manipulation that relies on the position of a cursor. This concept is fundamental to graphical user interfaces (GUIs) where users interact with elements by moving a pointer, the cursor, and clicking or selecting them.

In computing, the cursor can take various forms, such as an arrow, a text insertion point (often a blinking vertical bar), or a hand. The specific shape of the cursor usually indicates the type of action that can be performed. For instance, an arrow cursor typically allows for selection and manipulation of objects, while a text cursor signifies the location where typed characters will appear.

"Cursorpõhist" can also be applied in contexts beyond traditional GUIs. For example, in some command-line interfaces or text editors, users navigate through text using arrow keys, which are essentially controlling a cursor. Data visualization tools might also employ cursor-based interactions, allowing users to hover over data points to see their values or select regions for further analysis. The underlying principle remains the same: interaction is driven by the cursor's current location. This approach simplifies user experience by providing a direct visual representation of the user's focus or intended action.
