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
187bd11c 27;; the way, or all the way to the corner of the frame.
b578f267 28;; To use, load or evaluate this file and type M-x mouse-avoidance-mode .
187bd11c 29;; To set up permanently, put the following in your .emacs:
b578f267 30;;
95d059bd 31;; (if (display-mouse-p) (mouse-avoidance-mode 'animate))
b578f267 32;;
8557ea06
RS
33;; Other legitimate alternatives include
34;; `banish', `exile', `jump', `cat-and-mouse', and `proteus'.
35;; They do somewhat different things.
b578f267
EN
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;;
95d059bd 42;; (if (eq window-system 'x)
b578f267
EN
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))

51;; Bugs / Warnings / To-Do:
52;;
88b4ca18 53;; - Using this code does slow Emacs down. "banish" mode shouldn't
b578f267
EN
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:
187bd11c 60;; This code was helped by all those who contributed suggestions,
b578f267
EN
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.
