Hide the mouse cursor when idle or on key press

[webbegg]

I mostly navigate with the keyboard, so the mouse cursor sits there and gets in the way until I move the mouse.

Add at the end of ~/.config/hypr/input.conf:

cursor {
  inactive_timeout = 3 # Number of seconds before disappearing
  hide_on_key_press = true # Cursor hide when key press
}

How are you liking this? I want it to hide whenever you start typing or after issuing any super commands. It seems a little cleaner to me but I will try this out for now if that is working already.

It seems there is an option for what you're mentioning, I update the description of the discussion.

# Cursor hide when detects key press
cursor {
    hide_on_key_press = true
}

with this though...when does the cursor come back?
I am currently using inactive_timeout = 1 which works well but always up for cleaner approaches

@mrpbennett when you move the mouse again it reappears with both settings. You can combine the two settings so it disappears on inactivity and also when we start typing.

Simple, useful. Thanks.
