Hi everybody,
 
Mouse avoidance mode keeps the mouse pointer away from the point to avoid obscuring text. I find this helpful when using just the keyboard, but annoying when I'm using the keyboard and mouse in conjunction. I'm looking for a way to have mouse avoidance mode temporarily disabled automatically if the mouse has been used recently, say within the last ten seconds. Otherwise mouse avoidance mode will be enabled. This will save me from having to manually disable mouse avoidance mode when using the keyboard and mouse in conjunction and then having to manually re-enable it when finished.
 
Thanks!
 
Sincerely,
 
Corey Foote
