KDE has this feature that if you keep wiggling the cursor fast enough it gets as big as the screen, which would be useful in this situation

You can double-click Ctrl on Windows 11

"Lost your cursor? That's okay, just use your mouse to double-click the Ctrl key on your keyboard and you'll find it!"

(Not what you meant of course but accidentally sounded too much like an AI slop answer, fitting for Windows 11)

Lmao. What verb do you use when pressing a key twice then? "Double-press" sounds weird, doesn't it?

Double-caress, clearly??

So that's why my cursor randomly gets huge...

that's a neat way, as it is very intuitive. one always wiggles the mouse to search for the cursor :) at some point i had a shortcut for that, but would always forget about its existence
