Bug ID: 489051
Summary: Please add mouse wiggle (and/or button) to activate
cursor highlighting
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 6.0.5
Platform: openSUSE
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: t...@gmx.de
CC: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
With the tiny cursor in some apps
(https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=489049), a way to spot the cursor without
using keyboard shortcuts is sorely needed.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Run KDE
2. Try to find an option to set Mouse Tracking to "by mouse wiggle" or similar.
OBSERVED RESULT
Only keyboard shortcuts are offered to highlight the cursor.
EXPECTED RESULT
An option to activate cursor highlighting by a) mouse wiggle and b) a
selectable mouse button.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20240621
KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.3.0
Qt Version: 6.7.1
Kernel Version: 6.9.5-1-default (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
It interrupts the 'flow' when the cursor is barely visible and one has to press
some key, esp. when modifiers are required because all the unmodified keys are
indispensably assigned to other actions.
If one hand is on the mouse and the other, e.g., on pen and paper, a smooth
work would require an extra hand. Not to mention one-handed handicapped
users...
