That's probably a powerpoint bug then. Maybe you can attach the predefined action "Show/Hide Mouse Cursor" or execute it on long press.

Hi Andreas,

It’s with Apple Keynote rather than PowerPoint, and I’m not sure it is a keynote but because if I use the actual arrow keys (the ones i’ve mapped to the button click) then I don’t see the mouse cursor, and also using SiriMote (https://eternalstorms.at) i don’t see the mouse cursor either.

Is there any way to find out what key SiriMote is mapped to so I could map to the same one using BTT?

Thanks
