That's why I no longer code in C#.

[-] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 5 points 6 days ago

surely just using the terminal?

[-] Chais@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 days ago

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.

[-] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 3 points 6 days ago

That's only funny if it's not YOUR computer 😁

[-] raven@lemmy.org 2 points 5 days ago

Wiggle thing on MacOS and you'll see it. ✨ Got you covered there.

[-] trumpetmouth@lemmy.world 58 points 1 week ago

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

[-] edinbruh@feddit.it 81 points 1 week ago

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

[-] CMDR_Horn@lemmy.world 66 points 1 week ago

And larger...and larger...

[-] zwerg@feddit.org 50 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] Klairabelle@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

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

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Oh, it's limited. But you will only discover it if you look at the bug-tracker.

[-] vrighter@discuss.tchncs.de 16 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 days ago

i had a similar setup when i worked at a NOC.

thank god i never intended to have children. lol

[-] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago

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)

[-] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 31 points 1 week ago

KDE: 500000% size increase and then....

[-] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 days ago
[-] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 days ago

You would never have guessed it, but this is my favourite feature :-)

[-] ozymandias117@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago

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

KDE shaky shaky

[-] Subscript5676@piefed.ca 11 points 1 week ago

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

On my computer, I summon my cursor.

[-] derry@midwest.social 10 points 1 week ago

Fooled us all. That's a tanning booth.

[-] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 week ago

I now undestand whom that KDE cursor is for?

[-] Speiser0@feddit.org 8 points 1 week ago

That's why you have eyes in the panel.

[-] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 days ago

You’d need 3 sets to triangulate with in this setup.
