Hi,

n the Plasma desktop environment, the Shake Pointer (often colloquially cal=
led=20
"Shake to Find") is an accessibility and productivity feature designed to=20
solve the "lost cursor" problem.=20
 If you are using a multi-monitor setup, an ultra-high-resolution display, =
or=20
simply have a dark wallpaper, it is remarkably easy to lose track of where =
the=20
mouse cursor is. The purpose of this feature is to provide an immediate vis=
ual=20
clue to help you locate it.=20
 When the feature is enabled, the system monitors the velocity and directio=
n=20
of mouse movements. If it detects a rapid back-and-forth "shaking" motion:=
=20
 Temporary enlargement: The cursor increases in size to the large scale.=20
 Visual focus: This sudden change in scale catches the human eye=E2=80=99s =
peripheral=20
vision, instantly revealing the cursor's coordinates.=20
 Automatic reset: As soon as you stop shaking the mouse, the cursor shrinks=
=20
back to its normal size.=20
There are several options on this panel.
Shake pointer to find it
 If this option is enabled, Plasma enables the shake ponter effect.=20
Magnification
 Here you can specify pointer magnification level for Normal and Large poin=
ter=20
size.

This will be added in the new version of docs.

Best regards,
Yuri
