no-pointer

v2026.09.24

Apply Remotion Studio's pointerless interaction styling to clickable controls. Use when adding or revising Studio buttons or links that should use the default cursor, brighten on hover, and show focus decoration only for keyboard navigation.

No Pointer

Use the established Studio interaction convention for clickable controls:

  • Set cursor: 'default'; do not use cursor: 'pointer'.
  • Drive purely visual hover styling through HOVERABLE_CLASS_NAME and hoverableStyle() from packages/studio/src/helpers/hoverable.ts. Do not add React hover state for color or background changes.
  • Keep the background unchanged unless the surrounding component already uses a shared background-hover convention. For a text-only action, use TRANSPARENT for both idleBackground and hoverBackground.
  • Use LIGHT_TEXT (#A6A7A9) as the idle color and WHITE (white) as the hover color. Icons and nested text must follow the same state; inspect the element that paints the pixels if the Studio CSS reset blocks inheritance.

Focus styling

Remove the default outline and pointer-focus shadow, but preserve a visible keyboard focus indicator. Add FOCUS_VISIBLE_ONLY_CLASS_NAME from packages/studio/src/helpers/hoverable.ts to the control alongside HOVERABLE_CLASS_NAME. The shared class implements this pattern:

.__remotion-focus-visible-only:focus {
  outline: none;
  box-shadow: none;
}

.__remotion-focus-visible-only:focus-visible {
  box-shadow: ${FOCUS_BOX_SHADOW};
}

Never remove the :focus-visible indicator. Keep hidden actions out of the tab order until they are discoverable.

Verify

In a running Studio, check the control's computed styles in all relevant states:

  • idle and hovered cursor: default;
  • idle color: rgb(166, 167, 169);
  • hovered color: rgb(255, 255, 255);
  • pointer focus: no outline or box shadow;
  • keyboard Tab focus: the standard FOCUS_BOX_SHADOW is visible.

For Studio code changes, run:

bunx turbo run make --filter='@remotion/studio'
bunx turbo run lint test --filter='@remotion/studio'
