Windows Cursor Hider

A small script written in AutoHotKey that hides the windows mouse cursor when a user starts typing, and shows it again when the user is done.

Free
Open Source
Windows

although windows already has an option to hide the mouse cursor whilst typing, which can be found under control panel/mouse, this is respected on a 'per application' basis.

unfortunately, many applications, such as visual studio, do not respect this setting, and leave the mouse cursor visible whilst typing.

this can be quite annoying, as one tends to type exactly where one clicked, i.e., where the mouse cursor currently is, and especially in the case of developers, the ide is particularly rich, meaning that the mouse cursor will normally also activate tooltips related to the item they are hovering over.

this is a small script written and compiled using autohotkey that hides the windows cursor when a user starts typing any alphanumeric (and certain codingrelated) characters, and shows it again as soon as a mouse movement is detected.

download the executable and use it right away. or put an alias of it into start menu\programs\startup so it runs automatically on system start.
