Mac Style "Find cursor" ease of access (shake to find)

[lordlycastle]

Whenever you lose your mouse, on multi-monitor set up it can be difficult to find it. So implement the mac's shake to increase size features as shown here.

A similar feature is available if you press the CTRL key. It can be found under Settings>Devices>Mouse>Additional mouse options>Pointer options>Check: show location when CTRL is pressed.

@hugobloem thanks for pointing that out. That'll do for now. Pretty hidden setting IMO.

Yes. The CTRL look is ugly. They need to update it with fluent design. It looks like it came straight from Windows Vista.

Super useful feature. I have a 3 monitor setup with different screensizes and lose my mouse almost every day while not always having my other hand on the keyboard.

There seems to be a Windows app doing this. On Mac, it's called 'Shake to Find'.

Could we update the topic name to represent 'Shake to Find' so it's easily to track?

If there's any interest in this feature, I'm volunteering to get working on this.

From #9409:

When having several screens you some times loose track of the mouse, enabling press ctrl to highlight mouse pointer with circles helps but not always visible enough.
But it would be nice if there was a taskbar icon with an arrow pointing at the mouse
alternative there could be an indication on the miniature of all screens in the Short Cut guide e.g. a crosshair

motivation: I some times work on a setup with four monitors: three 24" and on 37" (4k)
