💅 cursor(n) — Tk cursor routines, but make it make sense

okay bestie, so this is from the Tk cursor routines corner of the universe, and it's genuinely the whole cursor package manual. Let's go 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

cursor — the procedures that handle your CURSOR data. that's it, that's the vibe. 🖱️

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

package require Tk

package require cursor  ?0.3.1?

::cursor::propagate widget cursor

::cursor::restore widget ?cursor?

::cursor::display ?parent?

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so the cursor package literally just gives you commands to handle Tk cursors. no cap, that's the whole pitch. 🌸

---

✨ COMMANDS ✨

here's everything you get, one by one 💖

• ::cursor::propagate widget cursor — sets the cursor for the widget you named and every single one of its descendants to cursor. the whole family gets the same look, periodt. 👑
• ::cursor::restore widget ?cursor? — puts the original (or previously set) cursor back on the widget and all its descendants. and if you hand it a cursor, that one gets used on any widget that didn't already have a preset cursor — "preset" meaning set by an earlier call to ::cursor::propagate. so like, un-propagating, but cuter. 🦋
• ::cursor::display ?parent? — pops up a dialog with a listbox holding all the cursor names. pick one and it shows up right there in the dialog. it's purely for viewing whatever cursors your platform actually has available — a little cursor window-shopping trip, iykyk ✨
