When you're dealing with text elements that need editing or selecting, the text cursor—also known as the I-beam cursor—is your go-to tool. Resembling an uppercase 'I,' this cursor is designed specifically for text manipulation tasks like highlighting, inserting, or altering text. It becomes especially handy in text-heavy interfaces, guiding users naturally to interact with textual elements. By employing the text cursor in the appropriate contexts, you make the interface more intuitive, allowing users to easily perform text-related actions.
