In Debian I want to locate my mouse pointer. And after searching there are some suggestion using gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.mouse locate-pointer false However following that command, it returns No such key “locate-pointer” I install Debian 11 with Gnome initially, though later on I switch to i3 + slim. But gnome related packages are still kept in my env. Any ways I can locate my mouse pointer with e.g. pressing left hand side ctrl key? My environment information: Debian bookworm/sid, Gnome version 40.4. Thanks

Otherwise, it is almost certainly desktop-environment specific. -dsr-

A red cursor also helps. Install xcursor-themes and select the redglass theme. On XFCE, you can adjust the pointer size. I usually set mine to 36 points. <right click on desktop> -> Applications -> Settings -> Mouse & Touchpad -> Themes. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/

Last year I changed my mouse pointer to be huge and (coincidentally) red: I cloned the classic Commodore Amiga Workbench 1.3-era mouse pointer and scaled it up 8 times from the original size. It's so useful I couldn't go back to a regular-sized pointer! <https://jmtd.net/log/amiga_pointer/> (instructions in a comment) -- Please do not CC me for listmail. 👱🏻 Jonathan Dowland ✎ jmtd@debian.org 🔗 https://jmtd.net
