Description
unclutter removes the cursor image from the screen so that
it does not obstruct the area you are looking at after it
has not moved for a given time. It does not do this if
the cursor is in the root window or a button is down. It
tries to ignore jitter (small movements due to noise) if
you have a mouse that twitches.
- Productivity
- Useful for being able to see things when the cursor is obscuring them.
Especially useful with lots of windows and Focus-follows-Pointer
focus Model.
- Safety
- Examined code + use it all day every day ( buried in my
session startup)
- Work Planned
- None
- Documentation
- Manual page
- Verification
-
./unclutter -idle 1
Wait a couple of seconds without any mouse or key input
and the cursor should disappear
