I was thinking I would like to banish the mouse at every input,

To do this, I think I would want to have _every_ key that sends input
to the underlying program be in the "top" keymap; compare the
`self-insert-command' function from Emacs.  Perhaps keypress should be
added to RP as a `self-insert-command' analogue (see email from Martin
circa April of this year).

This way lies pain and suffering; we should seek solutions other than RP interpreting every key press...

(But for the immediate purposes of this question, is there a way to
perma-banish the mouse without running banish all the time?  I am
already using "unclutter", but the mouse can still be annoying when it
drifts across the screen invisibly, causing mouse-over events to
happen in the windows below.)

I don't see why we couldn't add a command to RP to hide the pointer and disregard all mouse input. That would be very useful: I also find myself using "banish" a lot.
