Hi all,

If you’re anything like me then you’d rather not have to type more than is necessary, and you can’t remember everything…

Repeatedly typing

```elm
import Html.Attributes as Attr

El.htmlAttribute <|
    Attr.style "cursor" "some value"

```

just to change the type of cursor displayed was becoming tiresome so I created my own module to ease the [admittedly minor] workload, and then decided it might be useful to others, so I’ve just released [Elm-Cursor](https://package.elm-lang.org/packages/phollyer/elm-cursor/latest/).

It supports [Elm-UI](https://package.elm-lang.org/packages/mdgriffith/elm-ui/latest/) and the core Html package, and provides a couple of benefits that some might find useful:

- Less typing (mainly when using Elm-UI)
- Editor hints when using a Language Server such as [elm-language-server](https://github.com/elm-tooling/elm-language-server)
- No risk of typos in the strings

Hope it’s useful to some.
