Pointer Visible
Summary in Plain English
The pointer indicator stays visible, with the same narrow exceptions for a stationary pointer over video and for a pointer controlling the direction of view.
Why It Matters
Auto-hiding cursors force users to move the pointer to find it, which is a real cost for people with motor disabilities and for anyone with low vision.
Scope: When This Applies
The draft's own conditions, quoted from guidelines/groups/interactive-components/pointer-focus-appearance/pointer-visible.md.
Except when
- The pointer is on a video and is not moving.
- The pointer controls the direction of view in a virtual or real world environment.
