Is there a linux equivalent to Mac's “Shake to Find Cursor”?
My coworker has a Mac, and when he loses his mouse cursor, he wiggles the mouse, and the mouse pointer gets bigger and bigger to visually show its location.
Is there anything like that in Linux? I know you can enable an option to press Ctrl to show a quick ripple animation around your pointer. But that requires accessing the keyboard. I'd love to have something like that but only require interaction with the mouse.
Has this been implemented anywhere? Or am I forced to reach over to the keyboard (so difficult!) to help me locate the cursor on 1 of 3 monitors?
Edit: I want a mouse-only solution that does not require pressing any keyboard keys.

Linux is the kernel so no, but X11 may have it. If not then someone could add it. (Note this site incorrectly and confusingly used Linux to mean Gnu/Linux. This error is not unique to this site.)

You could have Neko chase your mouse cursor (or a herd of them and his pals with different speed and reactivity if it's still not enough).

I think he want [nero] to appear when he shakes the mouse, so would need some mouse gesture software to trigger the effect.

The proposed duplicate is a good source of methods to create the visual effect, but none of the answers provides a way to trigger it via mouse gesture.

You could install compiz fusion and then add a mouse keybinding if you have a mouse with a scroll wheel that supports click, just assign a "key binding" to the 'show mouse' plugin for clicking the mouse wheel.

Credit to https://askubuntu.com/questions/370344/is-there-a-mouse-trail-option for the screenshot of ccsm showing that there is a mouse button initiate capability for this plugin.

Make sure you have the proprietary graphics driver installed (nvidia/amd, only)
sudo apt-get install compiz compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-plugins-extra libdecoration0-dev
Ensure direct rendering is enabled:
glxinfo | grep render
Should return direct rendering: yes
If it does you can issue compiz --replace to start compiz.
To return to Mate, assuming you use Mate, issue marco --replace. For other Desktop environments, you will have to look up the name of the window manager binary.

If you want to find your mouse pointer in a sea of pixels you can tap and release the Control key.
If you are running Ubuntu w/Unity Desktop or Ubuntu w/Gnome Desktop run:
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.mouse locate-pointer true
If you no longer want mouse pointer revealed reverse it's effect with:
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.mouse locate-pointer false
