Description

Hides the mouse pointer after a configured idle interval on X11 desktops, reducing visual distraction when reading, presenting, or watching full-screen content. The pointer returns when mouse activity resumes.

Use it when an always-visible cursor gets in the way. It changes display behavior only for the pointer, not the files or applications on the system.
