Cursor commands
The mouse cursor and key for exiting single cursor mode commands may also be specified in a

The commands to enter and exit single cursor mode and the command to align the mouse cursors
cannot be set in a KVM session profile.
NOTE: If the target device does not support the ability to disconnect and reconnect the mouse (almost all newer
PCs do), then the mouse will become disabled and the device will have to be rebooted.
