FAQ
Answered from text-cursor's own facts: its shelf, the weights it was drawn in, its siblings and its dates.
- What is the text-cursor icon for?
- An I-beam, the cursor over text, for selecting and editing text and placing the caret. It is filed under Text in Keyline Icons, drawn on the same 24×24 grid as the rest of the set. People look for it as i-beam, text cursor, caret, typing, edit text, insertion point and select text, and the browser's search matches all of those.
- What styles does the text-cursor icon come in?
- All four: stroke, two-tone, duotone and fill. They are drawn from the same geometry, so swapping style never moves anything.
- Is there a square or circle version of text-cursor?
- No. text-cursor is drawn as a bare glyph, and the set has no boxed variant of it.
- What other icons go with text-cursor?
- text-cursor-input, text-quote, text-split, a-arrow-down, a-arrow-up and align-center, and 12 more, all shown below. The text family is listed first, then the rest of the Text shelf, so the row under this one is the useful one even where a shelf runs long.
- How do I import text-cursor in React?
- <TextCursor /> is the component, and the weight decides the module: stroke from "@keyline-icons/react", two-tone from "@keyline-icons/react/two-tone", duotone from "@keyline-icons/react/duotone" and fill from "@keyline-icons/react/fill". It takes the usual SVG props plus a size, so <TextCursor size={16} /> and className="size-4" both work, and there is no provider or theme to set up.
- Where is the text-cursor SVG?
- icons/stroke/text-cursor.svg, icons/two-tone/text-cursor.svg, icons/duotone/text-cursor.svg and icons/fill/text-cursor.svg in the repository, normalised: no wrapper, no ids and no classes to strip out. The tabs above hand you the same drawing as SVG or JSX without the download, and neither needs an install.
- When was text-cursor added to the set?
- Added 11 Oct 2026. It ships in v1.8.0, so an install at that version or later has it.
Questions about the set rather than about this drawing are answered where they belong. The home page covers what the set is, how the three styles differ, why some icons come boxed and where the Figma file is; installing the set in a shadcn/ui project covers the React package, the CLI and using an icon without React. The MIT licence is stated in the footer of every page.
