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
187bd11c 30;; the way, or all the way to the corner of the frame.
b578f267 31;; To use, load or evaluate this file and type M-x mouse-avoidance-mode .
187bd11c 32;; To set up permanently, put the following in your .emacs:
b578f267 33;;
95d059bd 34;; (if (display-mouse-p) (mouse-avoidance-mode 'animate))
b578f267 35;;
8557ea06
RS
36;; Other legitimate alternatives include
37;; `banish', `exile', `jump', `cat-and-mouse', and `proteus'.
38;; They do somewhat different things.
b578f267
EN
39;; See the documentation for function `mouse-avoidance-mode' for
40;; details of the different modes.
41;;
42;; For added silliness, make the animatee animate...
43;; put something similar to the following into your .emacs:
44;;
95d059bd 45;; (if (eq window-system 'x)
b578f267
EN
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)))))
50;;
51;; For completely random pointer shape, replace the setq above with:
52;; (setq x-pointer-shape (mouse-avoidance-random-shape))
187bd11c 53;;

54;; Bugs / Warnings / To-Do:
55;;
88b4ca18 56;; - Using this code does slow Emacs down. "banish" mode shouldn't
b578f267
EN
57;; be too bad, and on my workstation even "animate" is reasonable.
58;;
59;; - It ought to find out where any overlapping frames are and avoid them,
60;; rather than always raising the frame.
61
62;; Credits:
187bd11c 63;; This code was helped by all those who contributed suggestions,
b578f267
EN
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.
