hide_cursor disables pointing when cursor is hidden

[terminalnode]

Using sway RC1.

When posting this I found issue #3431, which seems to point to the same issue but with a different desired outcome.

I almost never want to see the cursor and therefor have a very short hide_cursor timeout. Usually this works well, except when reading tooltips in a browser or something like that I have to keep the cursor moving at all times or the tooltip/hover text/whatever will disappear.

Would it be possible to add an option where the cursor is just hidden but not disabled? Personally I think it would be useful to be able to have both of these options. One to simply hide the cursor and then another one with a longer timeout to disable it.

TBH I'm not a fan of this. Invisible-but-still-active cursors are confusing.

I agree with emersion. I'm going to close this since it was decided in #3967 that we won't be adding more complexity to hide_cursor.

Fair enough. 👍
