;; 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:
+;;
+;; To use, type `M-x mouse-avoidance-mode'.
+;;
+;; To set up permanently, put this in your .emacs:
;;
;; (if (display-mouse-p) (mouse-avoidance-mode 'animate))
;;
;;
;; 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.
;; Credits:
;; This code was helped by all those who contributed suggestions,
