      It is also a sexual innuendo.

      My favorite part is that it keeps getting bigger as you continue shaking it, eventually resulting in a big-ass cursor that can’t be contained in one display lol

      …What? I was bored…

      macOS also has this feature under the name “Shake mouse pointer to locate”.

        KDE’s is different (and better) in that it seemingly has no cap on the size you can make the cursor. You can get your cursor bigger than your display.

        Yeah I think it been a Mac feature since like 2018, but more newly adopted in KDE. But either way it’s just a help UX idea, and potential aligns with someone’s behavior of just like moving the mouse fast to verify it’s still working

      It’s so well implemented, I sent it to a bunch of my friends saying something like “good accessibility and good design often are the same thing”

        Accessibility causes developers to implement users a choice on design.

        The original intent of css was we’d influence pages with out own design but that never happened.

        Night mode is accessibility lifted to a feature.

      Still doesn’t help in finding where your cursor is currently.
      Even worse when running multiple VMs.
      Half a dozen blinking cursors, but only one of them is actually active…

  Is there a way to define a home location for the cursor and have a key combination to send it there?

  source

  • OwOarchist@pawb.social ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    xdotool mousemove 0 0

    Replace the 0 0 with your desired coordinates if you don’t want the ‘home location’ to be at the top left.

    Then use xbindkeys to bind your desired key combination to run that command.
