Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
its not so much a problem but, when my players can see my curser its hard to be sneaky as they can see where im clicking on invisible things.

but there are times id like to be able to just gesture a path by showing them with my curser like a lazer pointer.

this would be a HUGE quality of life upgrade. i know at least 4 other DMs that would love this feature.
Describe the solution you'd like
just needs a toggle function to turn the DM's curser invisible/visible on button click rather than settings spelunking.

Describe alternatives you've considered
settings spelunking is a dangerous profession. wev've lost many good party members along the way. rations are low. S.O.S

Research direction

Start by locating where the DM cursor is rendered and where the current settings controls are implemented. Trace how pointer visibility is managed, then determine the smallest existing UI entry point for a button toggle. Done means the DM can switch the cursor between visible and invisible states from a button without opening settings.
