Description

Brief summary

When watching a video, the mouse cursor doesn't disappear while watching content. With most video players, the mouse cursor disappears along with the UI when inactive for a few seconds. Instead, I end up having to put my cursor in the corner and try to ignore the handful of white pixels it leaves. This feature could (and in my opinion should) be carried over to novel and manga content, where not interacting with the mouse for long enough hides it, allowing you to navigate the page using keyboard shortcuts without any UI appearing

Steps to reproduce

  1. Play a video
  2. Wait for the UI to disappear
  3. Note that the cursor is still present

Miru version

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the video player's UI code to find where cursor visibility is controlled. Look for a timeout or event listener that should hide the cursor after inactivity, and identify why it's not triggering.
