For those interested, there is a gnome extension called Wiggly that does this a similar thing.
Used to be called Wiggle, but development and bug fixing seems to have stopped on that one.
Comment on WHERE THE FUCK IS THE CURSOR?

On KDE Plasma when you shake the cursor it gets bigger, with no size limit.
On macOS it also does but there is a limit.
I don’t know whether Windows does because I’ve never used it, but I’d assume so.
Neither do I know about other DEs.

I was about to say this same thing. It’s such a fantastic feature.

I saw a bug report when KDE Plasma 6 was released that the cursor keeps growing indefinitely. A dev responded like “yeah I noticed that but decided it’s actually a great feature”

Hivemind. Came here to say this. I lose so much time shaking that damn thing.

I think you can enable something where you can press control and it will put a big circle around your cursor but it’s not enabled by default which is stupid and it’s not obvious because it’s a random keyboard key.

It’s a utility under PowerToys called Find My Mouse.
You can set it to either the left or right Control key, shake the cursor or a customer shortcut.

This has been a godsend for me…I have a pair of 35" ultrawides and I was constantly losing the mouse due to the fact that my desktop is 70" wide lmao
