"infinite cursor" like Blender on canvas and inputs?

As I am using Blender for VFX and 3D modeling, I find some interesting UX there. Like when panning the 3D world: if the cursor reaches the edge of the viewport, it is put on the other end so I can keep on panning. Is something like this a nice idea for the infinite canvas? You pan, and can keep on panning without reaching the limit of your screen. 

Similarly, when scrubbing values in an input field, in After Effects the cursor is hidden. Maybe hiding is not the best UX, but the idea is that you can keep on scrubbing infinitely without reaching the same limit of your screen.

Anyway, I was wondering: could this be a nice UX addition for Figma Design? And other Figma products, perhaps?
