There's no way he ever looks at the top row.

Having worked with such setups before, yes the top row is used, infrequently but watched

wiggle it until it's the size of a monitor, and if you're brave, it'll take over EVERYTHING.

I love it that KDE didn't limit the growing of it :)

I'm confused... Cursor? Surely you control everything via keyboard?

What is this activity you call "looking for my cursor?

On my computer, I summon my cursor.

for real though, the CTRL tap accessibility feature to find the cursor is a lifesaver

On KDE and on MacOS, if you shake the cursor it becomes larger

[–] CMDR_Horn@lemmy.world 27 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

And larger...and larger...

No lying, wiggling my mouse until it becomes HUGE is my go to activity during boring video calls.

[–] lengau@midwest.social 1 points 3 hours ago

Try putting it on the speaker's nose and jiggling.

Thats why i also have a thinkpad

I guess this confirms that I am a man, because I refuse to do anything except jiggle the mouse until I see it.

Am woman, learned today you can use CTRL to find it as I too wiggle it until I find it.
