Description
I find myself having to move the cursor out of the way while scrolling in Vimium. It'd be great if the mouse cursor was hidden while scrolling in Vimium. This isn't a problem if you're scrolling with a trackpad or mouse because you can easily move the cursor while scrolling, but if you're scrolling with the keyboard, the position of the mouse cursor is not relevant, and can only be moved if you stop keyboard-scrolling and switch to mouse/trackpad to adjust it.
