I know that I can get the current location of the mouse cursor by executing "xdotool getmouselocation".

I would like to detect the current mouse cursor type such as pointer, beam, or hand cursor from bash terminal or python code. Would this be possible?

Thank you. June

import win32gui    
win32gui.GetCursorInfo()

Will return something like

(1, 65539, (1920, 1080))

2nd number is ID of cursor type

On Windows 10 I get:

  • 65539 - normal

  • 65567 - pointer

  • 65541 - insert
