xhidecursor \- hide the mouse cursor when typing

.B xhidecursor

xhidecursor hides the mouse cursor when a key is pressed and shows it again

when the mouse is moved. It uses the XFixes extension and implements only the

minimal required event handling. Compared to xbanish (nearly 500 lines of

code), xhidecursor is much smaller (~40 lines) and uses less CPU.

xhidecursor runs in the background for the duration of the X session. To

start it automatically:

.nf

xhidecursor &

.fi

Place this line in ~/.xinitrc or your window manager startup file.

The XFixes extension must be available on the X server.
