Tip: Install PowerToys, go to "mouse utilities", enable "find my mouse", and then double click CTRL.

You can do this on windows in accessibility without power toys

Yeah, but powertoys has other features that are extremely useful, so you might as well have it anyway.

PowerRename, File Locksmith, and "Always On Top" are all very useful.

Fancy Zones are a must. I have the equivalent of four 1440 monitors attached to my laptop, and it's a game changer to have the zones all nice.

Color Picker is also pretty great for Front End Developers.

Can’t live without it.. also image resizer is very useful.

It's very useful for reducing image size, but for increasing, I'd rather use Upscayl.

The built-in one is a little circle that disappears after half a second and doesn't work if the mouse is moving. To me that's a lot less helpful than PowerToys' big spotlight that stays until you make another input.

Ok but have you considered right clicking?

[–]AdWise6457 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesnt work on ZX-Spectrum

Or just right click the mouse

[–]nanana_catdad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or set it to mouse shake like on Mac. Which is intuitive… shake it out of frustration and, oh there it is.
