Description

Is there any way to change the cursor to the OS move cursor? In my application I need to be able to move items as well as the canvas and it would be great if I could use the move, grab and grabbing default cursors of the OS.

Research direction

Start by locating the cursor and window-input handling in the repository, since the issue names no files or tests. Check whether OS cursor selection is already exposed, then determine how move, grab, and grabbing could be requested. Done means an application can select those default cursors for item and canvas movement.
