This is a feature request rather than a bug report.

Could a mouse pointer locator be added to Xfce similar to what is available in some other desktop environments? For example, in other environments a keyboard shortcut can be assigned to help locate the mouse pointer, such as by drawing circles around the pointer when Ctrl is pressed.

Thank you.

I'm not sure this should be assigned to Xfdesktop. A word from the maintainers would be welcome. Thanks

To me it seems like this belongs more as an Accessibility setting. Doing it in xfdesktop doesn't sound too hard either way...

Moving this to xfce4-settings. If it can't be done here feel free to move it back to xfdesktop.

Implemented as xfce4-find-cursor.
