Subject: "Point" vs. "cursor" in documentation
Date: Tue, 3 Jul 2018 20:25:34 +0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <037e45ba-ae4d-7aa7-bfa2-dd6a27aaff26@disroot.org> (raw)
I've noticed usage of "the cursor" and "point" throughout manuals and
doc-strings. In what context is one preferred over the other?
