Would be my idea too. And since we want to comply with system settings the
option needs to be on/off depending on the system settings, at least in case of
Microsoft.

I assume that hiding the cursor improves accessibility.

UX/Design team, what do you think? Is this something for LO or should it be the
role of the OS/DE?

- On Linux, a tool like xbanish could be used: https://github.com/jcs/xbanish
- Windows has Mouse properties > Pointer options > Hide pointer while typing:
https://www.howtogeek.com/766041/how-to-hide-your-cursor-while-typing-in-windows/
- on macOS, it seems to be the default:
https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/71661/how-do-i-disable-hiding-of-the-mouse-pointer-while-typing-text
- with KDE and GNOME, it is done per app. See e.g.
https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/15rvcfw/prevent_mouse_pointer_from_hiding_while_typing/
I just tested Gedit, GNOME Terminal and Firefox and they all hide the pointer
while typing, whereas Chromium, Gnumeric, Falkon and Thunderbird don't.

So I'd say it needs to be implemented and given as an option in Options >
LibreOffice > View, least for Linux.
