;;; Commentary:

;; For those who are annoyed by the mouse pointer obscuring text,
;; this mode moves the mouse pointer - either just a little out of
;; the way, or all the way to the corner of the frame.
;;
;; To use, type `M-x mouse-avoidance-mode'.
;;
;; To set up permanently, put this in your .emacs:
;;
;; (if (display-mouse-p) (mouse-avoidance-mode 'animate))
;;
;; Other legitimate alternatives include
;; `banish', `exile', `jump', `cat-and-mouse', and `proteus'.
;; They do somewhat different things.
;; See the documentation for function `mouse-avoidance-mode' for
;; details of the different modes.
;;
;; For added silliness, make the animatee animate...
;; put something similar to the following into your .emacs:
;;
;; (if (eq window-system 'x)
;;     (mouse-avoidance-set-pointer-shape
;;	     (seq-random-elt
;;		  (list x-pointer-man x-pointer-spider
;;			x-pointer-gobbler x-pointer-gumby))))
;;
;; For completely random pointer shape, replace the setq above with:
;; (setq x-pointer-shape (mouse-avoidance-random-shape))

;; Credits:
;; This code was helped by all those who contributed suggestions,
;;   fixes, and additions
;; Joe Harrington (and his advisor), for the original inspiration.
;; Ken Manheimer, for dreaming up the Protean mode.
;; Richard Stallman, for the awful cat-and-mouse pun, among other things.
;; Mike Williams, Denis Howe, Bill Benedetto, Chris Moore, Don Morris,
;; Simon Marshall, and M.S. Ashton, for their feedback.

MODE should be one of the symbols `banish', `exile', `jump', `animate',

If MODE is nil, toggle mouse avoidance between `none' and `banish'
modes.  Positive numbers and symbols other than the above are treated
as equivalent to `banish'; negative numbers and `-' are equivalent to `none'.

Effects of the different modes:
 * banish: Move the mouse to the upper-right corner on any keypress.
 * exile: Move the mouse to the corner only if the cursor gets too close,
     and allow it to return once the cursor is out of the way.
 * jump: If the cursor gets too close to the mouse, displace the mouse
     a random distance & direction.
 * animate: As `jump', but shows steps along the way for illusion of motion.
 * cat-and-mouse: Same as `animate'.
 * proteus: As `animate', but changes the shape of the mouse pointer too.
