NAME

       xbanish — hide the X11 mouse cursor when a key is pressed

SYNOPSIS

       xbanish [-a] [-d] [-i modifier] [-m [w]nw|ne|sw|se] [-t seconds] [-s]

DESCRIPTION

       xbanish  hides the X11 mouse cursor when a key is pressed.  The cursor is shown again when it is moved or
       a mouse button is pressed.  This is similar to the xterm(1) setting pointerMode but the effect is  global
       in the X11 session.

OPTIONS

       -a      Always keep mouse cursor hidden while xbanish is running.

       -d      Print debugging messages to stdout.

       -i modifier
               Ignore  pressed  key  if  modifier is used.  Modifiers are: shift, lock (CapsLock), control, mod1
               (Alt or Meta), mod2 (NumLock), mod3 (Hyper), mod4 (Super, Windows, or Command), mod5 (ISO Level 3
               Shift), and all

       -m [w]nw|ne|sw|se
               When hiding the mouse cursor, move it to this corner of the screen or current window,  then  move
               it back when showing the cursor.

       -t seconds
               Hide the mouse cursor after seconds have passed without mouse movement.
