SUMMARY Mouse mark is a very simple tool for drawing not anti-aliased mouse cursor traces on the screen. It would be awesome if it were extended so in such a way that it were more useful: * Draw on mouse down * Erase functionality * Color changes * Arrows * Pen support * etc. Something like `gromit-mpx` or `ppInk`. This wishlist issue may be too extended, so it might make sense to break it down into smaller pieces and to reference these issues.
There is already a rudimentary functionality for drawing arrows, it is a hidden functionality. (Alt + Shift + Meta, 2x at two different points, only works somewhat good on Wayland). Anyway, as a teacher I use screen annotation A LOT and a Mouse Mark effect overhaul wold be great. I would also add the following features to this list: * redo to the undo * shapes * hide/show marks * work properly with the zoom effect

I'm not sure how this would work with the `meta+shift`? What I'm imagining is reusing spectacle components, just without the screenshot functionality. I feel like if this was to be done, mousemark would probably no longer be a desktop effect, and instead a desktop app. I can't imagine how the current shortcuts would fit in
