;;; 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, load or evaluate this file and type M-x mouse-avoidance-mode .
;; To set up permanently, put the following in your .emacs:
;;
;; (if window-system (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 window-system
;; (mouse-avoidance-set-pointer-shape
;; (eval (nth (random 4)
;; '(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))
;;
;; Bugs / Warnings / To-Do:
;;
;; - Using this code does slow emacs down. "banish" mode shouldn't
;; be too bad, and on my workstation even "animate" is reasonable.
;;
;; - It ought to find out where any overlapping frames are and avoid them,
;; rather than always raising the frame.
;; 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.

"Set cursor avoidance mode to MODE.
MODE should be one of the symbols `banish', `exile', `jump', `animate',
`cat-and-mouse', `proteus', or `none'.
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.
Whenever the mouse is moved, the frame is also raised.
\(see `mouse-avoidance-threshold' for definition of \"too close\",
and `mouse-avoidance-nudge-dist' and `mouse-avoidance-nudge-var' for
definition of \"random distance\".)"
