The cursor is visible as a line in the palette view. It can be moved by clicking on an area beside a color, or, in the ``Cursor follows'' mode, also by clicking on a color.
The cursor has the following functions:
It points to the color after it. The color, if any, is described below the palette view. You may edit its name there.
It can be used to make a selection. A selection can be made by clicking on an area beside a color, so to move the cursor there, and by moving the mouse then with the left mouse button pressed.
If the ``After cursor'' checkbox near to the ``Add a color'' button is checked, a color from the color chooser is put after the cursor. The color is either inserted or it ovewrites another one, depending on whether the ``Ovewrite'' mode is chosen. The mode can be chosen by checking the ``Overwrite'' checkbox, that is next to the ``After cursor'' one.
