idea: Cursor Highlighter / permanent mouse marker (switch on/off)

[ralf-42]

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Hello, PowerToys is an extremely helpful tool collection. Thanks a lot for this! I would still have an idea for an extension: it would be great, if you could not only activate the mouse marker by left/right clicks, but could also switch on permanently. I am currently using Autohotkey for that. An integration into PowerToys would be outstanding. Thanks very much!

Scenario when this would be used?

I use it for courses to show better where I am currently with my curser and to point out certain things.

Supporting information

I currently use AutoHotkey for this (https://sites.google.com/site/boisvertlab/computer-stuff/online-teaching).

An Integration of this feature would be great. I checked the Roadmap of PowerToys and did not find a request for this feature. I also checked the windows configuration and did not find the option for a transparent circle.

+1 for this, I often need to do screencast for quick demo / user guide, the permanent mouse highlighter would be a very helpful feature
