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

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

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.

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.
