## <mark style="color:green;">Example Use case</mark>

It is used to toggle cursor visibility in third-person or first-person games. For instance, in a third-person game, you can set the **Cursor Lock and Unlock Toggle Action** input to your inventory or menu toggle key. When this key is pressed, the game will automatically toggle the cursor’s visibility, enabling or disabling the third-person pointer. Once the menu is closed, the game will return to the third-person pointer cursor.
