Hiding Mouse
Having the mouse in the middle of the screen gets annoying. Originally I solved this by using
xdotool
, but due to it's interference when using controllers in games, I switched to a much cleaner solutionunclutter
.### xdotool method (old) # DESC: for every window-operation, move the mouse to the bottom of the display # bindsym $mod+h focus left ;exec "xdotool mousemove_relative --sync 0 1000"### unclutter method (new) # # unclutter -idle 5
10 workspaces per-monitor
I was able to do this by leveraging python python-xlib, parxing xrandr output, and issuing commands to
i3-msg
.
