{{Function
|name=window.restoreCursor
|args=
|returns=None
|api=term
|addon=ComputerCraft
|desc=A function available to window-based [[term (API)|terminal objects]] created via the [[window (API)|window API]], which restores the cursor to that window.

All windows have parent objects, such as other windows, monitors, or the computer's own display. Rendering to a given child object renders via the parent(s), and hence moves said parent's (one single!) cursor around. If a parent has multiple children, you'll hence find that they'll hence fight over that cursor - this command can be used to force it back into the window where you require it, without otherwise affecting that window.

Most actions that can be requested of a window (eg calling its [[term.write|write]] command, making it [[window.setVisible|visible]], etc) will have the same effect.

See also: [[term.setCursorBlink|term.setCursorBlink()]]
|examples=
{{Example
|desc=Defines a pair of windows within the current display, each wanting to render the cursor, then switches the control of the cursor between them every couple of seconds (Ctrl + T to exit):
|code= term.clear()

local window1 = window.create(term.current(), 5, 5, 1, 1)
window1.setTextColor(colours.white)
window1.setCursorBlink(true)

local window2 = window.create(term.current(), 10, 5, 1, 1)
window2.setTextColor(colours.black)
window2.setCursorBlink(true)

while true do
window1.restoreCursor()
sleep(2)

window2.restoreCursor()
sleep(2)
end
|output=When controlled by window1, the cursor will blink brightly to the left; when controlled by window2, the cursor will blink darkly to the right.
