I-Beam cursor

ilikepython

I'm attempting to document Boa Constructor features as I discover them.
Here is the first handy feature that I find very useful:

Hold down Ctrl and put the I-Beam cursor over a variable defined elsewhere in a module. The variable will become underlined during this mouse movement. Now click on the variable and the insertion point will be moved to the line where that varibale is defined. Pretty nifty, Huh?

The I-Beam cursor is the standard cursor that you see while your mouse is in a text editing widget. It is used to help you place the "insertion point" in the text that you want to edit.
