    Ditto, though there are times I hit CTRL and then wonder why the screen went 'wobbly'...

        My mouse settings are playing up so I was in the mouse control panel fiddling with things and noticed the "Display pointer trails" checkbox. Does anyone here remember when laptop screens were so bad you actually needed pointer trails so you could follow where the mouse was? What a blast from the past.

        cheers Chris Maunder

            :sigh: Tonight's late posting is brought to you by 13yo not doing her history project over the two week half-term and realising it's due in in the morning. I am giving her help as needed whilst [a] reading and [b] quality checking a rather cheeky Hungarian red. Chin! Chin!

                Yes I do. My eyes do. Luckily my laptop showed the trail on its own - it had a mangled refresh rate ;P

                    I have Show location of pointer when I press the CTRL key enabled. I have multiple monitors and not the greatest vision. Helps me find the cursor but I do get grief from the younger devs.

                    It's a necessity when you have two 1920x1200 monitors and a 40" 4K one. Even with that, I still sometimes lose the pointer. I'm beginning to think it's time Microsoft allowed larger mouse pointers (64x64 or even 128x128)

                      I'm so old that I remember when there was no mouse, only a CLI. Having said that, I can still have locating the cursor when the focus is on a VM window displaying the console of the VM. The cursor is not to be found by any method until you switch the focus away from the VM window.

                        The next time one of your younger devs is away from their system, change the mouse pointer to "hide" when not in use. The CTRL allows you to find it again quickly.
