  23 ;;; Commentary:
  24
  25 ;; For those who are annoyed by the mouse pointer obscuring text,
  26 ;; this mode moves the mouse pointer - either just a little out of
  27 ;; the way, or all the way to the corner of the frame.
  28 ;; To use, load or evaluate this file and type M-x mouse-avoidance-mode .
  29 ;; To set up permanently, put the following in your .emacs:
  30 ;;
  31 ;; (if (display-mouse-p) (mouse-avoidance-mode 'animate))
  32 ;;
  33 ;; Other legitimate alternatives include
  34 ;; `banish', `exile', `jump', `cat-and-mouse', and `proteus'.
  35 ;; They do somewhat different things.
  36 ;; See the documentation for function `mouse-avoidance-mode' for
  37 ;; details of the different modes.
  38 ;;
  39 ;; For added silliness, make the animatee animate...
  40 ;; put something similar to the following into your .emacs:
  41 ;;
  42 ;; (if (eq window-system 'x)
  43 ;;     (mouse-avoidance-set-pointer-shape
  44 ;;           (eval (nth (random 4)
  45 ;;                      '(x-pointer-man x-pointer-spider
  46 ;;                        x-pointer-gobbler x-pointer-gumby)))))
  47 ;;
  48 ;; For completely random pointer shape, replace the setq above with:
  49 ;; (setq x-pointer-shape (mouse-avoidance-random-shape))
  50 ;;
  51 ;; Bugs / Warnings / To-Do:
  52 ;;
  53 ;; - Using this code does slow Emacs down.  "banish" mode shouldn't
  54 ;;   be too bad, and on my workstation even "animate" is reasonable.
  55 ;;
  56 ;; - It ought to find out where any overlapping frames are and avoid them,
  57 ;;   rather than always raising the frame.
  58
  59 ;; Credits:
  60 ;; This code was helped by all those who contributed suggestions,
  61 ;;   fixes, and additions
  62 ;; Joe Harrington (and his advisor), for the original inspiration.
  63 ;; Ken Manheimer, for dreaming up the Protean mode.
  64 ;; Richard Stallman, for the awful cat-and-mouse pun, among other things.
  65 ;; Mike Williams, Denis Howe, Bill Benedetto, Chris Moore, Don Morris,
  66 ;; Simon Marshall, and M.S. Ashton, for their feedback.

 385 MODE should be one of the symbols `banish', `exile', `jump', `animate',
 386 `cat-and-mouse', `proteus', or `none'.
 387
 388 If MODE is nil, toggle mouse avoidance between `none' and `banish'
 389 modes.  Positive numbers and symbols other than the above are treated
 390 as equivalent to `banish'; negative numbers and `-' are equivalent to `none'.
 391
 392 Effects of the different modes:
 393  * banish: Move the mouse to the upper-right corner on any keypress.
 394  * exile: Move the mouse to the corner only if the cursor gets too close,
 395      and allow it to return once the cursor is out of the way.
 396  * jump: If the cursor gets too close to the mouse, displace the mouse
 397      a random distance & direction.
 398  * animate: As `jump', but shows steps along the way for illusion of motion.
 399  * cat-and-mouse: Same as `animate'.
 400  * proteus: As `animate', but changes the shape of the mouse pointer too.
 401
 402 Whenever the mouse is moved, the frame is also raised.
