NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

       xbanish [-a] [-d] [-i modifier] [-m nw|ne|sw|se]

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),  and  mod5  (ISO
               Level 3 Shift).

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