Is it possible to ignore cursor events when in hidden state?

Currently it interferes keyboard driven workflow such as the completion box in google:

Hmm, it would require another method of hiding the cursor. The current method relies on generating an empty cursor bitmap:

hhpc/hhpc.c

Lines 105 to 115 in e8803cd

	static Cursor nullCursor(Display *dpy, Drawable dw) {
	XColor color = { 0 };
	const char data[] = { 0 };
	Pixmap pixmap = XCreateBitmapFromData(dpy, dw, data, 1, 1);
	Cursor cursor = XCreatePixmapCursor(dpy, pixmap, pixmap, &color, &color, 0, 0);
	XFreePixmap(dpy, pixmap);
	return cursor;
	}

. But that doesn't mean the cursor isn't there, as you've noticed. I'm not actually sure how this would be done. I did not write down all of the alternatives I've tried, but I think I decided that hhpc's method (based on hhp) was the most reliable for my use case. You may want to give unclutter a try.
