I don't know of any existing implementation, but it's an interesting idea.
All you should need is to observe the various mouse events on the page and
a timeout, as you said. Maybe something like:
function(idleTime) {
var currentTimeout = null;
var fireIdle = function() {
currentTimeout = null;
$(document).fire('mouse:idle');
};
var resetTimeout = function() {
if (currentTimeout) clearTimeout(currentTimeout);
currentTimeout = setTimeout(fireIdle, idleTime);
};
$w('mouseDown mouseMove ...').each(function(evt) {
Event.observe(document, evt, resetTimeout); });
}(2000);
I didn't bother putting all the mouse events in the list, I'm not 100%
certain I'm using the fire() method properly, and I just coded it off the
cuff with no testing, but there isn't much more to it. With that, all you
need to do is observe document's mouse:idle synthetic event. Note that this
depends on Prototype 1.6.
