[Feature Request] Remove mouse pointer completely from visible screen

[Sravdar]

I do use wayfire for kiosk application. While hide-cursor script works well to hide the cursor itself it doesn't change the fact pointer is still there. This causes problems like pointer hovering over the widgets and causing unwanted interactions.

It would be great if there was a way to remove cursor completely from screen.

I guess you could try changing this to 0 and setting the hide_timeout to 0.

@Sravdar Wayfire's core can do that for tablets automatically, but the APIs are not public for plugins to use (yet). However I think what you want to do is move the cursor to the edge of the screen (should be very easy with ipc) + what soreau suggested, this way I don't think you'll have issues in practice.

Another thing that comes to mind is using ipc to disable the input device completely, though your mileage may vary, depending on your situation.

@ammen99 @soreau thanks for quick replies.
Disabling inputs did not worked however i was able to move the mouse with pywayfire stipc.

Leaving this issue open as i think hide-cursor should be able to do this. You can close it if it is not planned.
