Even better would be to only show the mouse cursor when the mouse is 
moving (and a small delay time after stopping).

Of what use is a mouse cursor when not using the mouse?
I programmed it this way in one of my program and it is a boon!


1) It is more complex.
Currently: "Hide on typing" excludes modifier keys (shift/ctrl) if 
pressed alone. Reason: depending on config, they can be used with the 
mouse (e.g shift: extend selection; ctrl: click codetool link)


2) That said: I am open to the idea. Patch welcome. (With configurable time)

Hi,

I'm using Centos 6.6 and Lazarus IDE compiled with GTK2. Is there an
option to hide the mouse cursor while I'm typing? I've seen this option
in other editors and is quite handle.

use case:
   Click with the mouse to place the edit cursor. Mouse cursor obscures
the edit cursor, so sometimes i'm not 100% sure the edit cursor is in
the correct position/location.
