Can I hide the cursor while typing?
« on: April 03, 2009, 06:13:47 pm »
I tried the Help card, but I have been unable to find if one can set cursor to "hidden while typing".
Is there such an option?

Sorry for being such a pest;
I have enabled this feature, but it [cursor] is still showing up err... ??? in other words it does not make any difference/effect [this setting].

...

you need to start typing any text. Then mouse cursor should dissapear, if you do not touch the mouse.
Or you have expected something else?

Tools->Options->Editor->Display.  "[X]Hide cursor while typing" property.

To make this clear:

this is an option to hide the mouse cursor while typing. 

The Text cursor ( caret ) is still there.
(BTW: the shape can be changed whit "Tools>Options...>Editor>Caret Shapes")


Form Wikipedia:
The Text cursor ( caret )  HAVE to be there because otherwise you don't have an glue where the next char will be appear.

HTH? :D
