π What gets big exactly?
It's a feature in KDE that if you shake or move the mouse fast the cursor gets bigger so you can find it.
Debian 13 + KDE Plasma - Why does the mouse get so huge? HAAAAHAHAHAHA
KDE Plasma is so fucking good these days it's amazing to me that people voluntarily use Windows
My favorite part is that it keeps getting bigger as you continue shaking it, eventually resulting in a big-ass cursor that can't be contained in one display lol
...What? I was bored...
I, too, use KDE at work.
It is also a sexual innuendo.
I wanna put that in your end-o, if you know what I meANALSEX
As subtle ass a pounding
That pun went right over my head.
And then moved back and forth rapidly, until I had an orgasm and ejaculated my semen into it.Double entendre
macOS also has this feature under the name "Shake mouse pointer to locate".
KDE's is different (and better) in that it seemingly has no cap on the size you can make the cursor. You can get your cursor bigger than your display.
Yeah I think it been a Mac feature since like 2018, but more newly adopted in KDE. But either way itβs just a helpful UX idea, and potentially aligns with someoneβs behavior of just like moving the mouse fast to verify itβs still working
Apple added it in 2015.
It was on Linux longer. The focus follows the mouse was another that I would like to see native
I'm vaguely sure this was already in MacOS when I got my Macbook in early 2010s.
Iβm fairly sure that didnβt become a thing in KDE until 2024 or 25
Windows, since 7 (2009ish), had a feature to hit CTRL which zeros in on the mouse to find it if you can't find it. On my 3x 19" LCDs I had, it was handy to have that 3" circle close in on it.
Enable it under mouse settings, not automatic.
HOLY SHIT THAT'S WHY IT DOES THAT?!?!?! I learn something new about Linux on this platform every day.
It's so well implemented, I sent it to a bunch of my friends saying something like "good accessibility and good design often are the same thing"
Accessibility causes developers to implement users a choice on design.
The original intent of css was we'd influence pages with out own design but that never happened.
Night mode is accessibility lifted to a feature.
Same in macOS
Still doesn't help in finding where your cursor is currently.
Even worse when running multiple VMs.
Half a dozen blinking cursors, but only one of them is actually active...
"yes"
Pp
There is a function on linux that makes the cursor expand in size when you wiggle furiously for a few seconds
"Wiggle furiosly" sounds like a great way to spend saturday night.
Sure. It was called Wii Sports back in 2006.
I've put a hole in 3 monitors that way. At once.
