Simple XLib program to highlight the cursor position. This is similar to the feature found in Windows XP (and possibly later?)
Installation
Compile it by typing make
, install it with make install
. There are some
packages:
Usage
See find-cursor(1)
or find-cursor -h
to see some options for controlling the
appearance.
Launching
You will want to map a key in your window manager to run find-cursor
. You can
also use xbindkeys
, which should work with $any
window manager.
I run it with xcape
:
xcape -e 'Control_L=Escape;Shift_L=KP_Add'
When Left Shift
is tapped a Keypad Add
is sent; I configured my window
manager to launch find-cursor
with that.
I don't have a numpad on my keyboard; you can also use F13
or some other
unused key.
Compton
You may want to disable shadows if you use compton or some other composite manager; for example for compton start it with:
compton --shadow-exclude "class_g = 'find-cursor'"
Or, perhaps even better, disable it for all shaped windows:
compton --shadow-exclude 'bounding_shaped'
You can also put that in the compton config file. Other managers might have different options/flags.
