Cursor visibility control
The default macOS behaviour is to hide the mouse when typing. I often find my recordings have the mouse obscuring what I am typing because the cursor has been hidden on the screen I am recording.
There is a very manual option to do this by exporting out two versions of the recording - one with mouse, one without - and choosing which one to display when editing in DaVinci Resolve, but since the cursor automatically hiding when typing is my preference, I have started using another piece of screen recording software to capture the expected system behaviour.

Show mouse pointer during interaction only
I often just want to indicate the click interaction with the bubble/ripple effect but want the cursor hidden during movement/non-interaction. An option for this would be great.

Cursor Visibility Timeline
Its nice to have these different timelines for the zoom, shortcuts, etc. I think it would be beneficial to also have one for the Cursor. This would allow detailed enabling/disabling the cursor or styling it otherwise. Basically all the normal options but in a timeline.

I would also love to have this feature! The automatic hiding of static cursor helps, but often I need to adjust it depending on the recording. Right now I export the video twice: 1 x with cursor and 1 x without. In the editing software I overlay the clips and fade in/out the cursor version when needed. This works, but having the control right in the software would be a huge plus!
