Summary

Since 2D cursor will be used rarely in VSE and it is adding visual
noise, it will be hidden by default.


D12916 would add feature to reveal 2D cursor when it is actively used.

Having two ways to adjust the cursor visibility (based on toggle and based on pivot) seems like it could become annoying.

Why not have a single overlay option where the 2D cursor can be:

  • On
  • Off
  • Pivot (when the cursor pivot is enabled).

Then this could be supported for other editors and things can be kept consistent.

Discussed with @Richard Antalik (ISS), we could eventually show the cursor even when off in special cases (when transforming the cursor ... or when the cursor tool is active for example) so this patch LGTM.

This can be show_cursor as it's named elsewhere.
