Options
Hi All,

I am sorry and please accept my apologies for asking so many questions. I am just not able to hide my mouse cursor while typing despite every option i have tried ???...It is well annoying. or it might come back to normal once my PC is restarted. 

If anyone may please advise.

I thank you & Kind Regards

AK
PS : even right now i am typing, the mouse cursor is lingering around here.

    don't you think it will be a bit troublesome when you have to move it back & forth ?? . i mean move it to the corner of the screen and bring it back when & where I need to type which might be a long way and again push it away, not sure...
  • Hi,
    no, try it next time you reply.

    A screen is only a finite area, you seem to imply you're dragging it halfway across a field.  and if you set your document up and type into it properly you shouldn't need to keep using the mouse that often.

    Anyway if you learn all the useful key shorts (CTRL+B for bold, CTRL+I for italic, that sort of thing) you can cut your mouse usage in half.  And cursors/carats in web browser text reply boxes is pretty much normal really.
