Description Neal Gompa 2023-04-25 20:24:17 UTC
SUMMARY
In macOS, there's an accessibility feature where if you rapidly move the mouse pointer (colloquially called "jiggling"), it'll automatically enlarge/magnify the pointer (also overriding any application-centric masking of the cursor too) so you can see where it is. This is useful if you wind up "losing track" of the mouse for some reason.

Please consider implementing this in KDE Plasma.
