Comment on WHERE THE FUCK IS THE CURSOR?

  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…

    I, too, use KDE at work.

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

    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

      Apple added it in 2015.

      It was on Linux longer. The focus follows the mouse was another that I would like to see native

        It was on Linux longer.

        I’m fairly sure that didn’t become a thing in KDE until 2024 or 25

        Windows, since 7 (2009ish), had a feature to hit CTRL which zeros in on the mouse to find it if you can’t find it. On my 3x 19" LCDs I had, it was handy to have that 3" circle close in on it.

        I’m vaguely sure this was already in MacOS when I got my Macbook in early 2010s.

    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.

  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.

  HOLY SHIT THAT’S WHY IT DOES THAT?!?!?! I learn something new about Linux on this platform every day.

    Hell yeah! And if you do a three finger pinch on a trackpad it does a magnifying zoom onto your cursor! Super handy on my 13" laptop

  KDE Plasma is so fucking good these days it’s amazing to me that people voluntarily use Windows

  It is also a sexual innuendo.

        That pun went right over my head.

        And then moved back and forth rapidly, until I had an orgasm and ejaculated my semen into it.

  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…

  Same in macOS

  There’s a gnome extension called Wiggly that does a similar thing 👍
