Why not alt+tab?
On KDE Plasma when you shake the cursor it gets bigger, with no size limit.
On macOS it also does but there is a limit.
I don’t know whether Windows does because I’ve never used it, but I’d assume so.
Neither do I know about other DEs.
For those interested, there is a gnome extension called Wiggly that does this a similar thing.
Used to be called Wiggle, but development and bug fixing seems to have stopped on that one.
Windows doesn’t. I lose my cursor all the time even though I made it neon green.
Doesn’t Windows have the option to configure a hotkey to indicate cursor location? Maybe in the accessibility settings or something? It’s been a while since I’ve used Windows.
Yeah double tap control
I was about to say this same thing. It’s such a fantastic feature.
Sometime I get bored and wiggle the mouse untill it covers both screens. 10/10
I think you can enable something where you can press control and it will put a big circle around your cursor but it’s not enabled by default which is stupid and it’s not obvious because it’s a random keyboard key.
It’s a utility under PowerToys called Find My Mouse.
You can set it to either double pressing the left or right Control key, shake the cursor or a custom shortcut.
Hivemind. Came here to say this. I lose so much time shaking that damn thing.
Maybe that would be a better screen setup?
I refuse to believe that this setup is actually efficient. You cannot possibly actually need that much information on screen at the same time. I think Houston mission control has less going on than this.
This is just having a lot of screens for the sake of it.
He uses them to work on his code and his tan.
This is it. This is the threshold of where a VR headset and a virtual desktop manager makes more sense.
I can’t believe no one’s posted this yet
As much as I’m an advocate for VR I don’t think I’d want to spend 8 hours in a rig. I look like I’ve been wearing ski goggles as it is and that’s only after two or three hours.
Props for even being able to be in for 2 or 3 hours.
I get this uncanny valley feeling after only an hour. If the motion sickness doesn’t get me first.
I think I’d still rather this than have a heavy device on my head, an umbilical, and motion sickness.
What extreme office activities are you doing that you would suffer from motion sickness?
I am saying VR will give me motion sickness.
Having 35 monitors won’t
I think I’d still rather this than have a heavy device on my head,
I’ve wondered about this, actually. We’d need necks like an NFL linebacker.
an umbilical, and motion sickness.
Joking aside, that’s a legit concern. It’s not for everyone, that’s for sure.
A least he’s getting enough light. Maybe not the right wavelength though.
I was going to say his vitamin D intake is at least taken care of.
If I had that many screens I would at least put everything in dark mode.

Oh my god, right? That shit’s gotta put you in “All work and no play make Jack a dull boy” mode toute suite lmao

Somone needs to make a program that greys out any monitor that the cursor isn’t on.
That’s actually a solid suggestion. I might not want it when I’m using another monitor to play a video/music/etc while multitasking, but a keybind to highlight the right monitor and ping the cursor would be useful. I think windows had a cursor ping ages ago, but I wasn’t in my 40s then and only had one screen, so never used it. As I age, I need three monitors now to have my activity, the support docs, and the requirements all visible and losing my fucking cursor is the thing that makes me curse the most. [throw it all the way to the top left corner is my workaround, but it sucks]
I have had friends and coworkers send this meme to me repeatedly because my WFH setup is closer to this than I’d like to admit. Fuck it though, I find it helpful.
Bro, I have one coworker that does his work on a 14" laptop, no external mouse or keyboard.
I have no idea how. I have minimum 15 windows open at once and am going back and forth on them or have 4 windows open at once in my monitors to compare data and make markups. And ofc a nice keyboard and mouse. Laptop gets shoved out of sight.
I feel like he’s either really slow or not doing any work at all.
And then I feel guilty because I don’t work hard enough 🙄
I did this. works fine for me because I am efficient with virtual desktops.
The answer is he is really slow.
I have that same coworker.
He’s the true definition of a grinder. Works on a laptop screen with only touchpad. He works 7 days/week and 9 hours/day to keep up productivity. I have no idea why.
I told Mgmt to please for the love of God buy him a monitor, and a mouse. My coworker refused both…
Yeah makes me feel like I’m so efficient I don’t need to work near as much as I do!! But honestly my job is pretty easy, I’m under utilized and while its boring, its not bad and I get paid enough.
Those little monitor bracket clamps vs the edge of that desk…
I might have missed it but I’m surprised no one has mentioned a tiling WM.
I almost expect them as much as arch users lol.
- The upper row terminals must have enormous font size!
- No worries, use these binoculars.

Whoa, slow down there Satan.
