--- Comment #2 from Duncan <1i5t5.dun...@cox.net> ---
Bug #490923 (duplicate) has an I believe reasonable suggestion that I'll repeat
and add to here: Disable shake-cursor when zoomed in. My add: Do this only
when the zoom effect's scale-cursor option is enabled as well; without it
shake-cursor's perhaps even more useful as the cursor's even smaller compared
to everything else -- I know as I had zoom's cursor-scaling option disabled due
to a bug for awhile, but that's fixed now.
The argument is that when zoomed in (with the cursor zoomed too) shake-cursor
to locate isn't really useful/necessary any longer.
My own use-case: I've 4 4k 50-inch TVs as monitors in a 2x2 grid to
effectively give me a poor-man's 100-inch 8k (tho ATM, it's only 3 in an L,
gotta upgrade to do the full 4), making it rather easy to lose the
pointer/cursor in all that space. One might think zoom wouldn't be necessary
with that but I still find it useful. But by definition, zooming in constrains
the visible resolution and if configured so, the cursor already scales/zooms as
well, so indeed, shake-cursor to locate it /isn't/ as necessary. Therefore, at
least for my use-case, disabling shake-cursor when zoomed (with the cursor
already zoomed too) is indeed reasonable.
If there are use-cases where people still need shake-cursor when zoomed in with
the cursor zoomed/scaled too, please post 'em (well, the first few anyway,
don't go overboard if there's a hundred... =:^). I can't think of any so if
this will break the way others use the effects I'll learn. =:^)
