.SH NAME
find-cursor \- highlight the cursor position
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B find-cursor
.RB [ \-fghto ]
.RB [ \-s
.IR size ]
.RB [ \-d
.IR distance ]
.RB [ \-l
.IR line-width ]
.RB [ \-w
.IR wait ]
.RB [ \-c
.IR color ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B find-cursor
highlights the cursor position by drawing circiles around them.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
\fB\-c\fR, \fB\-\-color\fR \fI\,CODE\/\fR
Color; can either be an X11 color name or RGB as hex.
.TP
\fB\-d\fR, \fB\-\-distance\fR \fI\,PIXELS\/\fR
Distance between the circles in pixels.
.TP
\fB-f\fR, \fB--follow\fR
Follow the cursor position as the cursor is moving.
.TP
\fB-g\fR, \fB--grow\fR
Grow the animation in size, rather than shrinking it.
.TP
\fB-h\fR, \fB--help\fR
Show help.
.TP
\fB-l\fR, \fB--line-width\fR \fI\,PIXELS\/\fR
Width of the lines.
.TP
\fB-o\fR, \fB--outline\fR
Draw an outline in the opposite color as well. Helps visibility on all
backgrounds.
.TP
\fB-s\fR, \fB--size\fR \fI\,PIXELS\/\fR
Maximum size the circle will grow to.
.TP
\fB-t\fR, \fB--transparent\fR
Make the window truly 'transparent'. This helps with some display issues when
following the cursor position, but it doesn't work well with all WMs, which is
why it's disabled by default.
.TP
\fB-w\fR, \fB--wait\fR \fI\,MICROSECONDS\/\fR
Time to wait before drawing the next circle.
.SH EXAMPLES
.PP
The defaults:
.RS
find-cursor --size 320 --distance 40 --wait 400 --line-width 4 --color black
.RE
.PP
Draw a solid circle:
.RS
find-cursor --size 100 --distance 1 --wait 20 --line-width 1
.SH LAUNCHING
.PP
You will want to map a key in your window manager to run \fIfind-cursor\fR. You
can also use \fIxbindkeys\fR, which should work with $any window manager.
.PP
I run it with \fIxcape\fR:
.RS
xcape -e 'Control_L=Escape;Shift_L=KP_Add'
.RE
.PP
When
.B
Left Shift
is tapped a
.B
Keypad Add
is sent; I configured my window manager to launch
.I
find-cursor
with that.
.PP
I don't have a numpad on my keyboard; you can also use
.B
F13
or some other unused key.
