Description

Feature and motivation

For pptr, they have Ghost Cursor to mimic mouse human gestures.

It should be neat to have this feature, based on Bezier curves

Usage example
from selenium.foobar import CreateCursor
from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
cursor = createCursor(driver)
cursor.click(selector)
