This library contains computer mouse cursors for Microsoft Windows systems.There are two types of cursors supported directly by Windows operating systems:static (.cur) and animated (.ani). Both types are present in this library.Learn how to download cursors.

If you change your cursors frequently, consider using a free tool that allows you tochange cursor from Windows Explorer context menu. Beside changing cursors one by one, the tool also allows exporting and importing cursor schemes.

If you do not want to install any software, just click on Control Panel in Start menu, then double-click the Mouse icon andswitch to Pointer tab. Here you can change the cursors used by Windows in differentsituations to the downloaded ones.

Important: only cursor authors or copyright holders may add cursor to the library.If you are using pictures downloaded from internet to create cursors, you must make sure the author of the picturesallows this use of their work.

Important: always create 32x32 pixels cursors unless you have a serious reason not to. While it is possible to make cursors of non-standard size, Windows will automatically resample them decreasing image quality.

This allows me to continue using ctrl-shift-up/down in my music streaming app since I disable it globally in Inkdrop and sets ctrl-alt-up/down to adding cursors up and down as it is in Visual Studio Code.

I bought a new PC yesterday, and it has a fresh install of Windows 8.1 Pro. I am now a little confused. Everything was perfect last night. I noticed there were like a billion pending Windows Updates ('cause 8.1 was released so long ago) and so I installed them all while I was sleeping.

So basically, I have two mouse cursors on my screen. Its location never changes on the screen. But when I hover over a hyperlink - both mouse cursors change to show a hand cursor. When I click in a text field, both cursors change to indicate I am now in a text field. When the computer is loading something, both cursors change to display a Wait cursor.

I tried searching for a solution, but all I could find were tonnes of people asking others how to get two mouse cursors, which is the opposite of what I want. I only want one. The second one's getting on my nerves. It's just sitting there in the top-left of my screen.

I discovered that Windows thinks I have two displays. But I don't - and there has only ever been 1 display connected to this computer. So Windows screwed up somewhere and installed two different 'monitor' drivers. And so Windows thought that I had two monitors connected. One of the settings (which I did NOT set) was to "Extend the second display" which means that the screen will be extended onto the second monitor (but in this case, there's only one screen). The reason why the cursor was always at the top-left of my screen, was because Windows is set to display everything on the primary display, so, it displayed my normal cursor and then it displayed another cursor (which was meant for the extended display (second monitor)) on the primary display.

I proved this by moving my cursor outside the right of my screen. And I kept moving it. It took the same amount of moves to the left to get the cursor back into view - that proves that Windows did in fact think I had two screens and did in fact create another desktop. (But I could only see one because I only have one screen).

While changing some settings a few moments ago (unrelated), I stumbled upon a setting in PC Settings (Windows 8.1) 'Show only 1'. If you select that, it will only display one desktop regardless of how many monitors Windows thinks you have.

OK, I have Windows 10 on a Lenovo 2-in-1 machine. I was cleaning the keyboard and must have triggered some hidden mode because all of a sudden I had a second pointer that appeared on a fixed location on the screen that mimicked every move my "real" pointer made. I couldn't get rid of it until I enabled tablet mode in Settings and literally dragged the ghost pointer off the screen. Not sure if this will solve the problem for others but it can't hurt to try. I must have enabled some tablet-mode setting in my zeal to get dust off the keyboard. Note to self - invest in some air canisters.

I'm running Windows 10 on an Asus T100T tablet. When I turned it on today I a second pointer had unexpectedly appeared at the top left of the display. I tried restarting the laptop and the pointer was still there. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the mouse driver. This didn't fix the problem either.

I got rid of the second pointer by using the function key which allows you to switch between PC Screen Only, Duplicated or Extended displays (f8 on my tablet). It was currently set to PC Screen Only as it should have been. I selected Duplicate instead and the second pointer immediately disappeared. I then selected PC Screen Only and the second pointer did not reappear.

Visual Studio Code is an editor first and foremost, and includes the features you need for highly productive source code editing. This topic takes you through the basics of the editor and helps you get moving with your code.

If you'd like to change the modifier key for applying multiple cursors to Cmd+Click on macOS and Ctrl+Click on Windows and Linux, you can do so with the editor.multiCursorModifier setting. This lets users coming from other editors such as Sublime Text or Atom continue to use the keyboard modifier they are familiar with.

The Go to Definition and Open Link gestures will also respect this setting and adapt such that they do not conflict. For example, when the setting is ctrlCmd, multiple cursors can be added with Ctrl/Cmd+Click, and opening links or going to definition can be invoked with Alt+Click.

The user setting Editor: Column Selection controls this feature. Once this mode is entered, as indicated in the Status bar, the mouse gestures and the arrow keys will create a column selection by default. This global toggle is also accessible via the Selection > Column Selection Mode menu item. In addition, one can also disable Column Selection mode from the Status bar.

However, it's easy to turn on Auto Save, which will save your changes after a configured delay or when focus leaves the editor. With this option turned on, there is no need to explicitly save the file. The easiest way to turn on Auto Save is with the File > Auto Save toggle that turns on and off save after a delay.

When the Find Widget is opened, it will automatically populate the selected text in the editor into the find input box. If the selection is empty, the word under the cursor will be inserted into the input box instead.

If you want it to be the default behavior of the Find Widget, you can set editor.find.autoFindInSelection to always, or to multiline, if you want it to be run on selected text only when multiple lines of content are selected.

While searching long text, the default size of Find Widget might be too small. You can drag the left sash to enlarge the Find Widget or double click the left sash to maximize it or shrink it to its default size.

In the two input boxes below the search box, you can enter patterns to include or exclude from the search. If you enter example, that will match every folder and file named example in the workspace. If you enter ./example, that will match the folder example/ at the top level of your workspace. Use , to separate multiple patterns. Paths must use forward slashes. You can also use glob pattern syntax, for example:

VS Code excludes some folders by default to reduce the number of search results that you are not interested in (for example: node_modules). Open settings to change these rules under the files.exclude and search.exclude section.

Note that glob patterns in the Search view work differently than in settings such as files.exclude and search.exclude. In the settings, you must use **/example to match a folder named example in subfolder folder1/example in your workspace. In the Search view, the ** prefix is assumed. The glob patterns in these settings are always evaluated relative to the path of the workspace folder.

Also note the Use Exclude Settings and Ignore Files toggle button in the files to exclude box. The toggle determines whether to exclude files that are ignored by your .gitignore files and/or matched by your files.exclude and search.exclude settings.

When you type text into the Replace text box, you will see a diff display of the pending changes. You can replace across all files from the Replace text box, replace all in one file or replace a single change.

VS Code supports changing the case of regex matching groups while doing Search and Replace in the editor or globally. This is done with the modifiers \u\U\l\L, where \u and \l will upper/lowercase a single character, and \U and \L will upper/lowercase the rest of the matching group.

The modifiers can also be stacked - for example, \u\u\u$1 will uppercase the first three characters of the group, or \l\U$1 will lowercase the first character, and uppercase the rest. The capture group is referenced by $n in the replacement string, where n is the order of the capture group.

The Open Search Editor command opens an existing Search Editor if one exists, or to otherwise create a new one. The New Search Editor command will always create a new Search Editor.

You can also use the Open New Search Editor button at the top of the Search view, and can copy your existing results from a Search view over to a Search Editor with the Open in editor link at the top of the results tree, or the Search Editor: Open Results in Editor command.

There are two arguments that you can pass to the Search Editor commands (search.action.openNewEditor, search.action.openNewEditorToSide) to allow keybindings to configure how a new Search Editor should behave:
