Dear Lyx-developer community,
I request the following feature for an upcoming release on Lyx:
Hide cursor when user edits text, unhide on mouse movement
Reason:
I find it very distracting that the cursor is always visible. In
particular when I place the cursor in my text to correct a misspelled
word or add/remove/change words or a sentence. The cursor remains at
the position on top of my text making it difficult to read.
The simple solution is to hide the cursor on text editing, and unhide
it when the user moves the mouse.
I can only tell for the Mac/Cocoa platform that this is not difficult
to implement bt I can't tell for other platforms. I am also not
famiiar with the Lyx-Sourcecode so I don't know what's necessary to do
to get a consitent behaviour on all platforms. But I would really like
to see this feature in the near future in Lyx 1.6.x+ and 2.x+.
Comments are highly appreciated.
Thanks for your consideration
