For community

⬇️ Please click the 👍 reaction instead of leaving a +1 or 👍 comment The Old, 'Windows-Cursor-Hider' is an .exe file, which I double click and I visibly see it functioning when typing.

With Hide mouse pointer while typing, well IDK.

Install

For a standalone use:

So I downloaded the source,

Use

For a standalone use: double-click on [🖰hide on 🖮_launch](<./🖰hide on 🖮_launch.ahk>)

I did that on each of the, didn't notice anything, cursor doesn't hide.

Then Installed AutoHotkey_2.0.12_setup.exe, Ran the app got a AutoHotkey Dash, there's no import button, New Script, Compile, Help, Window Spy, Launch Settings and Editor settings. Were do the lib and gVAR folders get copied to? There's: C:\Users\xxx\Documents\AutoHotkey C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey

and then what to do?

Can you just make a simple .exe for this same as 'Windows-Cursor-Hider' and so make it so it runs automatically every time when computer starts up?

Have you done this after installing AutoHotkey?

For a standalone use: double-click on 🖰hide on 🖮_launch

so it runs automatically every time when computer starts up

Add a regular Windows .lnk to the 🖰hide on 🖮_launch.ahk to your Startup folder

Can you just make a simple .exe for this same

Maybe, but unfortunately unlikely: this would make the standalone self-contained exe versions of the scripts deviate even more from the way I use these scripts myself in the combo version as I'd need to move all configuration from the script to a separately loaded file (which is also less flexible) so it'd be harder for me to update on changes.
