Mouse Locator - Cursor, cursor, where for art thou?
Authored by: kimballk on Feb 23, '06 08:16:12PM

I prefer moving a "lost" cursor to a consistent obvious place rather than making it more prominent and therefore easier to find. The latter approach still requires SOME searching, especially with my 23" and 30" screens. When I "lose" the cursor or when I return to a sleeping machine, or to a running screen saver, I hit a key combination (for me, 4 adjacent fingers on control-option-command-space) and the cursor is moved to the position x= 10, y=50; i.e., just below the apple. Same place every time. I use a commercial program called QuicKeys to do this; there may also be freeware or shareware programs which allow you to program a mouse click position with a keyboard shortcut.
