This is a job for a tiling WM. Imagine doing this on Window$.
Wiggle thing on MacOS and you’ll see it. ✨ Got you covered there.
KDE: 500000% size increase and then…
The cursor is on Monitor 3 (there is no monitor 3 but Windows thinks there is)
surely just using the terminal?
I had a similar matrix of screens at my old job: Seismic survey observer desk. Three rows tall, four columns wide.
They weren’t all connected to the same PC, though; If I remember correctly:
- Top row was one PC (linux)
- Middle row was another (linux)
- Bottom left was its own PC (It ran msdos 6.22. Excellent OS for realtime stuff!)
- Bottom right was its own (linux)
- middle two at the bottom was windows.
They were all connected to a Raritan KVM switch, so I used that to select which row to control. The exception was on bottom left and bottom right which had a dedicated keyboard and mouse.
I have a picture of it somewhere, but I can’t seem to find it.
you’d love synergy. it’s a client you install on multiple devices and allows you to share one keyboard and mouse across as many devices as you want.
you can even share the clipboard too.
Well aware of it. Used it between the top two rows.
i had a similar setup when i worked at a NOC.
thank god i never intended to have children. lol
Bottom left was its own PC (It ran msdos 6.22. Excellent OS for realtime stuff!)
really? I used 6.22 back in the day - what’s it still being used for these days?
Not sure if it’s still in use today, but the above description was 2008 through 2012. Msdos was used for “gun timing”, which basically amounted to extreme precision when it came to opening or shutting some solenoid valves. The computer had a GPS input and a bunch of serial outputs, and a control line (also serial).
The control line sent instructions of which solenoid to open when, a time reference was determined by the GPS, and you can probably guess what the serial outputs were for.
KDE: just wiggle it
wiggle it until it’s the size of a monitor, and if you’re brave, it’ll take over EVERYTHING.
I love it that KDE didn’t limit the growing of it :)
i still do this for fun about once a week or so
One of the few features that I’m missing from niri :')
That and the sweet zoom that KDE has built in.
Oh, it’s limited. But you will only discover it if you look at the bug-tracker.
KDE shaky shaky
for real though, the CTRL tap accessibility feature to find the cursor is a lifesaver
On KDE and on MacOS, if you shake the cursor it becomes larger
And larger…and larger…
No lying, wiggling my mouse until it becomes HUGE is my go to activity during boring video calls.
Try putting it on the speaker’s nose and jiggling.
Only in KDE, and i think now we can limit that in settings
Who wants a limit to that? Gimme fullscreen-cursor and name him Harry.
Tim apple i suppose
Thats why i also have a thinkpad
I guess this confirms that I am a man, because I refuse to do anything except jiggle the mouse until I see it.
Am woman, learned today you can use CTRL to find it as I too wiggle it until I find it.
that’s what she said!
Fooled us all. That’s a tanning booth.
It would be funny af if there was a way to make the computer think the screen size was infinite (just for the mouse) so you could send your cursor 20 miles away and never find it again.
That’s only funny if it’s not YOUR computer 😁
Where’s we are going: https://www.nongnu.org/ratpoison/
I’m confused… Cursor? Surely you control everything via keyboard?
ditch the rat
(Shamelessly stolen from this very community.)
right-click and see where a menu opens.
pastes into putty
am I doing it right?
Ow my neck
Windows are too big. The whole point is to have small windows and multiple screens so you don’t have to move your eyes around in their sockets in the window you’re working which causes eyestrain.
They might have well just have fewer screens and click through windows.
I struggle with my neck and 3 screens. I’ve gotten really good at doing a bunch of shit at once on one screen so my neck doesn’t hurt as much lol
