So I have 5 monitors, 3 of them HiDPI. If you combine this with monitors handling powersave (blank screen vs disconnect display) and windows behavior when screen layout changes I lose mouse pointer a lot.
I am using the new crosshair feature - it is great (I do 1px magenta, no border, 200px radius)
I think replacing the mouse shake gesture that already exists in windows with activation on mouse finders would be an intuitive way to add accessibility. Not all of my older relatives are saavy enough for keyboard shortcuts, and wiggling the mouse is their intuitive behavior. The default behavior of hiding all windows is not what they expect to happen
Another idea (no clue how complex to code this) - if my mouse is pushing against a border for a few seconds activate mouse finder
And one more idea: When windows display layouts change it almost always puts them in weird places. When crosshair is enabled it would be cool if touching display borders were color coded. Think of it like "portal" if I cross the edge with a blue highlight, the mouse will be on the display edge with the other blue highlight. This highlight feature would also be useful when different display sizes are touching. To take this a step further, being able to map where the mouse goes on display edges would solve a lot of issues with different DPI and Size displays sharing a border
Scenario when this would be used?
Multi-monitor, intuitive accessibility features that require no training.
