+title: April 2026 - Pointer Cursor
+description: Add cursor pointer behavior for buttons during project setup.
+date: 2026-04-25
+---
+
+You can now enable `cursor: pointer` for buttons when initializing a project.
+
+```bash
+npx shadcn@latest init --pointer
+```
+
+This adds the following CSS to your global CSS file:
+
+```css title="globals.css"
+@layer base {
+  button:not(:disabled),
+  [role="button"]:not(:disabled) {
+    cursor: pointer;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+The `--pointer` option is not part of preset codes. It is applied as a project setup option, similar to `--rtl`.
