It's been years since i want to switch to blender, and i can't because of this...
Hello, i have been wanting so much to move to blender from other 3D software, and i was never able to pass by the "crosshair + sign" cursor in edit mode for modeling. Please add back the default the windows cursor as a secondary option somewhere in preferences. There are tons of users that want this, i am sure. I want to model with windows arrow cursor in edit mode, not a crosshair like in shooters. Thank you

you've been wanting to switch to blender for years and the only thing holding you back is an esoteric cursor preference? sorry, that doesn't compute.
* @testure * pretty sure tons of users are holding back on Blender because of a cursor shape x)
* @-L0Lock- * mister, stay away from my thread if you can't accept someone requesting a feature.
* @testure * mister, it seems that it bothers you that someone is requesting a feature proposal. Stay away from my thread if it doesn't compute to you, thank you.
* @blaga sapun * This website is all about discussing feature proposals. If you can't accept people not agreeing with you and don't want any of the discussions that are meant to happen here, it is you that should stay away.
And, just as a reminder, here's what you can read on the RCS frontpage:
I don't want to reinvent the wheel, i just hope to see back the default windows arrow pointer back in edit mode, or as a secondary option. Don't understand why it was removed/replaced with a + crosshair. My proposal is to have a option somewhere to switch the cursor type at least. Is like removing the spoon from peoples with something else.
This + crosshair is more usable in shooters, where you only need to click on things to shot, while the arrow pointer helps your brain to focus everything on the tip of the arrow, while having the arrow shape that leads to the tip of the arrow. It also helps a lot more when u want to select multiple things, like edges verts and what not, is simply better.
I waiting to switch to new blender for so long as well and things that stop me look like this . I donate all that tiime to development fund but still have to work in 2.79...
But you... you complaining about "crosshair". Are you kidding? That's the only thing which matter?
* @IIIFGIII * mister, i searched for feature requests side of blender, that's why i am here, i am requesting a feature, not complaining about blender. And yes, this is very annoying for me, because i work with high speed, and the current crosshair which is used in shooter games, doesn't help me when clicking on pixel distance. Having those pixel gaps in the middle of crosshair makes me miss selecting things, and that's not good for my workflow.
This area is not for "feature requests". It is for "proposals".
Explain what you understand about why a crosshair is used currently. Then, explain why you think something else would be better an an option or even as the new default.
I reply to this, since my new post got marked as "Double", also consider my express as a proposal.
