    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 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”

      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.

      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.

        Doesn’t Windows have the option to configure a hotkey to indicate cursor location? Maybe in the accessibility settings or something? It’s been a while since I’ve used Windows.

        I’ve known people who have had the same issue and they not only turn it neon green but turn on mouse trails to an extreme degree. If you draw a little circle with your hand it’s very easy to spot.
