Cursors

From OPU Wiki

When you move your mouse cursor into the Detail Pane, it will change its appearance to let you know what command you can issue at its current location. The available command depends on what unit(s) or structure you have selected, what (if anything) is at the cursor's current location, and what Command Icon you have clicked on in the Command Pane.

Below is a list of cursors that you may see in the Detail Pane, and when they are used.
