💖 msd-locate-pointer — the little ripples bestie 💖

okay so welcome to the msd-locate-pointer manual page, part of the MATE-SETTINGS-DAEMON fam. no cap, this is the cutest tiny utility and you're gonna be obsessed. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

msd-locate-pointer — create ripples around the mouse pointer 🌊

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

msd-locate-pointer

that's it. that's the whole thing. no flags, no args, no drama. she just is. 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so basically msd-locate-pointer is a program that goes ripple ripple around your mouse pointer — literally like throwing a stone into water. 🪨💧 the whole point is that it helps you locate the position of the mouse pointer when your eyes have lost it (we've all been there, it's giving lost in the sauce 😭).

and here's the slay part: with mate-settings-daemon it is possible to assign a hotkey for evoking the msd-locate-pointer command. so you smash that key combo and boom — instant ripples, pointer found, main character energy restored. 🔥

pro tip from me to you: hotkey it. trust. iykyk. 💜
