Request: Suggestion for IDE

[a740g]

@Spriggsy
Hi Zack,
surely it is possible but not simple to do (to get  setting of OS about mouse's behaviour)
moreover if original structure of QB64IDE has the goal to emulate QBasic, it hasn't the flexibility to acquire that feature without an hard work of building again  a part or the whole QB64IDE.
So yes, it is not so simple to realize that feature (the mouse uses OS' settings).

I was thinking statements like _MOUSEMOVEMENT, _MOUSEHIDE, _MOUSESHOW, _MOUSEX and _MOUSEY would do the trick.

Correct. We would need to check keyboard events and then hide the pointer if it is over the IDE Window (or more preferably over the text edit region). A subsequent mouse move should make the cursor visible. IMO, this feature should be allowed to be toggled with a menu / setting option.
