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.

     -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 (Hy-
	     per), 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 move-
	     ment.
