Screenshot of the bouncing cursor

Hello,

I hope I've chosen the right component. I just guessed.
I've been using KDE for 10 years. The first thing that I noticed was the bouncing busy cursor. I really like(d) it.

I use the mouse with my left hand with a lefthanded cursor theme and the buttons are also swapped. I'm used to the bouncing cursor on the right but if only there were an option to put it on the left side of the cursor.

There could be a lefthanded checkbox in Applications/Launch feedback. I would be so pleased.

Thank you
Mike

Hello,
I don't want to rush anyone. I requested this option 4 and a half years ago.
To be more precise 1626 days ago.
I know that only 10% of the population is left handed (Wikipedia). And GNU/Linux users make up 2% of the desktop users (also from Wikipedia).
(with 7.800.000.000 people there are about 15.600.000 users worldwide)
It follows that I am not the only one.

I don't know how to code, but I'm pretty sure moving that thing to the other side wouldn't take more 5 minutes to implement it.
