shaky cursor language

SUMMARY
Add a feature to control to Shake Cursor to enlarge the pointer also the mouse/touchpad settings.

OBSERVED RESULT
Right now the setting is only found in
Uncheck System Settings → Accessibility → Shake Cursor → “Share cursor to find it”

EXPECTED RESULT
As it is a control that linked to the mouse or touchpad while using it, I would expect this setting could be also found there. If you want to avoid having one setting in more than one place there should be at least a link to where I can find the setting.
(In general I love that KDE can be configured exactly to your liking, but one of the biggest critic points I have with KDE is that I often need Google to find a setting that I want to change.)

This would make a certain amount of sense once we have a combined "Mouse & Touchpad" page, and then we could put the single/double-click setting there too.

Until then, I don't think this makes sense because it's not a mouse setting, it's a pointing device setting, and touchpads are pointing devices too, which means we'd have to have the setting duplicated in three places, and that's not ideal.
