26 ;;; Commentary:
28 ;; For those who are annoyed by the mouse pointer obscuring text,
29 ;; this mode moves the mouse pointer - either just a little out of
30 ;; the way, or all the way to the corner of the frame.
31 ;; To use, load or evaluate this file and type M-x mouse-avoidance-mode .
32 ;; To set up permanently, put the following in your .emacs:
34 ;; (if (display-mouse-p) (mouse-avoidance-mode 'animate))
36 ;; Other legitimate alternatives include
37 ;; `banish', `exile', `jump', `cat-and-mouse', and `proteus'.
38 ;; They do somewhat different things.
39 ;; See the documentation for function `mouse-avoidance-mode' for
40 ;; details of the different modes.
42 ;; For added silliness, make the animatee animate...
43 ;; put something similar to the following into your .emacs:
45 ;; (if (eq window-system 'x)
46 ;; (mouse-avoidance-set-pointer-shape
47 ;; (eval (nth (random 4)
48 ;; '(x-pointer-man x-pointer-spider
49 ;; x-pointer-gobbler x-pointer-gumby)))))
51 ;; For completely random pointer shape, replace the setq above with:
52 ;; (setq x-pointer-shape (mouse-avoidance-random-shape))
54 ;; Bugs / Warnings / To-Do:
56 ;; - Using this code does slow Emacs down. "banish" mode shouldn't
57 ;; be too bad, and on my workstation even "animate" is reasonable.
59 ;; - It ought to find out where any overlapping frames are and avoid them,
60 ;; rather than always raising the frame.
62 ;; Credits:
63 ;; This code was helped by all those who contributed suggestions,
64 ;; fixes, and additions
65 ;; Joe Harrington (and his advisor), for the original inspiration.
66 ;; Ken Manheimer, for dreaming up the Protean mode.
67 ;; Richard Stallman, for the awful cat-and-mouse pun, among other things.
68 ;; Mike Williams, Denis Howe, Bill Benedetto, Chris Moore, Don Morris,
69 ;; Simon Marshall, and M.S. Ashton, for their feedback.

347 modes. Positive numbers and symbols other than the above are treated
348 as equivalent to `banish'; negative numbers and `-' are equivalent to `none'.

351 * banish: Move the mouse to the upper-right corner on any keypress.
352 * exile: Move the mouse to the corner only if the cursor gets too close,
353 and allow it to return once the cursor is out of the way.
354 * jump: If the cursor gets too close to the mouse, displace the mouse
355 a random distance & direction.
356 * animate: As `jump', but shows steps along the way for illusion of motion.
357 * cat-and-mouse: Same as `animate'.
358 * proteus: As `animate', but changes the shape of the mouse pointer too.
