That's why I no longer code in C#.
This is a job for a tiling WM. Imagine doing this on Window$.
KDE: 500000% size increase and then....
Loooove for KDE
You would never have guessed it, but this is my favourite feature :-)
KDE: just wiggle it
wiggle it until it's the size of a monitor, and if you're brave, it'll take over EVERYTHING.
I love it that KDE didn't limit the growing of it :)
i still do this for fun about once a week or so
The cursor is on Monitor 3 (there is no monitor 3 but Windows thinks there is)
Wiggle thing on MacOS and you'll see it. ✨ Got you covered there.
I had a similar matrix of screens at my old job: Seismic survey observer desk. Three rows tall, four columns wide.
They weren't all connected to the same PC, though; If I remember correctly:
They were all connected to a Raritan KVM switch, so I used that to select which row to control. The exception was on bottom left and bottom right which had a dedicated keyboard and mouse.
I have a picture of it somewhere, but I can't seem to find it.
you'd love synergy. it's a client you install on multiple devices and allows you to share one keyboard and mouse across as many devices as you want.
you can even share the clipboard too.
Well aware of it. Used it between the top two rows.
Bottom left was its own PC (It ran msdos 6.22. Excellent OS for realtime stuff!)
really? I used 6.22 back in the day - what's it still being used for these days?
Not sure if it's still in use today, but the above description was 2008 through 2012. Msdos was used for "gun timing", which basically amounted to extreme precision when it came to opening or shutting some solenoid valves. The computer had a GPS input and a bunch of serial outputs, and a control line (also serial).
The control line sent instructions of which solenoid to open when, a time reference was determined by the GPS, and you can probably guess what the serial outputs were for.
for real though, the CTRL tap accessibility feature to find the cursor is a lifesaver
On KDE and on MacOS, if you shake the cursor it becomes larger
And larger...and larger...
No lying, wiggling my mouse until it becomes HUGE is my go to activity during boring video calls.
I guess this confirms that I am a man, because I refuse to do anything except jiggle the mouse until I see it.
Am woman, learned today you can use CTRL to find it as I too wiggle it until I find it.
KDE shaky shaky
I'm confused... Cursor? Surely you control everything via keyboard?
ditch the rat
(Shamelessly stolen from this very community.)
surely just using the terminal?
Fooled us all. That's a tanning booth.
right-click and see where a menu opens.
That's why you have eyes in the panel.
You’d need 3 sets to triangulate with in this setup.
Ow my neck
It would be funny af if there was a way to make the computer think the screen size was infinite (just for the mouse) so you could send your cursor 20 miles away and never find it again.
That's only funny if it's not YOUR computer 😁
I now undestand whom that KDE cursor is for?
What is this activity you call "looking for my cursor?
On my computer, I summon my cursor.

Where the fuck is the image? Not loading for me
Check monitor number 8, it may have opened there.
Loads fine for me. It's someone sitting in front of a desk with 15 large monitors surrounding them in a semicircle, 3 monitors stacked on top of one another in 5 columns.
There's no way he ever looks at the top row.
