That's why I no longer code in C#.
surely just using the terminal?
This is a job for a tiling WM. Imagine doing this on Window$.
It would be funny af if there was a way to make the computer think the screen size was infinite (just for the mouse) so you could send your cursor 20 miles away and never find it again.
That's only funny if it's not YOUR computer 😁
Wiggle thing on MacOS and you'll see it. ✨ Got you covered there.
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
And larger...and larger...
No lying, wiggling my mouse until it becomes HUGE is my go to activity during boring video calls.
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.
KDE: just wiggle it
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 :)
Oh, it's limited. But you will only discover it if you look at the bug-tracker.
I had a similar matrix of screens at my old job: Seismic survey observer desk. Three rows tall, four columns wide.
They weren't all connected to the same PC, though; If I remember correctly:
- Top row was one PC (linux)
- Middle row was another (linux)
- Bottom left was its own PC (It ran msdos 6.22. Excellent OS for realtime stuff!)
- Bottom right was its own (linux)
- middle two at the bottom was windows.
They were all connected to a Raritan KVM switch, so I used that to select which row to control. The exception was on bottom left and bottom right which had a dedicated keyboard and mouse.
I have a picture of it somewhere, but I can't seem to find it.
i had a similar setup when i worked at a NOC.
thank god i never intended to have children. lol
you'd love synergy. it's a client you install on multiple devices and allows you to share one keyboard and mouse across as many devices as you want.
you can even share the clipboard too.
Well aware of it. Used it between the top two rows.


The cursor is on Monitor 3 (there is no monitor 3 but Windows thinks there is)
KDE: 500000% size increase and then....

Loooove for KDE
You would never have guessed it, but this is my favourite feature :-)
right-click and see where a menu opens.
pastes into putty
am I doing it right?
KDE shaky shaky
What is this activity you call "looking for my cursor?
On my computer, I summon my cursor.

Fooled us all. That's a tanning booth.
I now undestand whom that KDE cursor is for?
That's why you have eyes in the panel.
You’d need 3 sets to triangulate with in this setup.
