XBANISH(1)		    General Commands Manual		    XBANISH(1)

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.
