1. A method for adapting sensitivity of a pointing device connected to a processor configured to execute a plurality of application workflows, and to a display configured to display a cursor, wherein the method comprises the steps of:
receiving a default sensitivity (S) of the pointing device;
determining one of the plurality of application workflows which is to be executed, said application workflow being the currently-active application workflow (Ai);
receiving or determining a target sensitivity (Si) for the currently-active application workflow (Ai);
receiving or determining a correction factor (Fi) for the currently-active application workflow based on the target sensitivity (Si) for the currently-active application workflow and the default sensitivity (S);
receiving a current position of the cursor;
detecting delta coordinates inputted by an operation made by the user on the pointing device in order to move the cursor on the display during execution of the currently-active application workflow; and
computing, in response to the operation of the user on the pointing device, a new position of the cursor on the display based on the current position of the cursor, the delta coordinates and the correction factor (Fi) for the currently-active application workflow (Ai).
