Comment 36 for bug 16492

neuromancer, a "good compromise" between what? unclutter's behavior is worse than both the status quo and the behavior I specified.

Greg, thanks for the hint, but I just tested "unclutter -keystroke" and it seems to have no effect at all. (For example, the cursor does not hide when typing this bug comment.) Perhaps if someone fixed that as a separate bug, we could re-evaluate unclutter for inclusion.

eyerouge, I know that the first two cases are already a fact in Ubuntu; that's what I meant by "it does not solve the problem". I agree with you that including a purported solution to the problem might misdirect actual solutions (a similar thing has happened for two years with bug 161818, for example).
