finally a use for xeyes?

[ndiddy]

I don't use vanilla xeyes but I use the Window Maker dockapp version (https://bstern.org/wmeyes/) to make it easier to find my cursor on the screen.

Ha. KDE 6 has something like if you jiggle the cursor a certain way, it temporarily grows larger.

Better than Windows's function of "hide all my windows"...

I think every OS has this feature. Sometimes it is hidden in an accessibility menu and needs to be turned on.

Pressing some key a few times in Windows highlights your cursor. I just can't remember what it was (Ctrl I think)

[jacekm]

Yup, Ctrl twice.

Once works. It's an option you have to turn on: Settings > Mouse > Additional mouse options > Show location of pointer when I press the CTRL key.

Oh thank you thank you. I moved to Windows 11 and the feature disappeared - it is right where your path points to.

I always run xeyes in any net-enabled gui. iykyk.
