Wish: A menu item/hotkey to toggle the host cursor #161

Closed xandark closed 7 months ago

xandark commented 7 months ago

I'm using https://github.com/a2stuff/a2d , it is a desktop GUI. I'd like to be able to hide my Linux cursor so that I can see the Apple II desktop's cursor. It'd be great if I could press a hotkey that I could press that would toggle the visibility of the Linux cursor, which is obscuring the a2d cursor.

No attempt to detect if a mouse is actually in use.

Maybe I wasn't clear, let me try again. I want to be able to hide my Linux pointer so that I can see the pointer in the Apple II desktop. In the screenshot, you can see my Linux pointer right on top of the Apple II desktop's pointer. I want to hide the Linux one.

We are talking about the "arrow", the mouse pointer?

If so, this is exactly what I have done. Not a menu item, because otherwise, I need more logic to show it when it is used to interact with the menu. You will have to use 'Ctrl-F9' to toggle.

Yes, the arrow, the mouse pointer, sorry for not being more clear.

Okay, I didn't know that Ctrl-F9 toggles the mouse pointer, it's not in the Shortcuts window on the row for F9. But even that aside, pressing Ctrl-F9 doesn't hide my mouse pointer. This is my system:

Operating System: KDE neon 6.0 KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.1.0 Qt Version: 6.7.0 Kernel Version: 6.5.0-28-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland

Any ideas?

IGNORE THAT LAST MESSAGE. I see that I need to do a pull, duh.

Works great!
