Add circle animation to cursor when clicked [duplicate]
Due to a stroke, I have had some vision impairment in that I sometimes have a hard time locating my mouse pointer on the screen. I have tried making the mouse pointer larger which helps but is still not the solution.
I am new to the Mac world and would appreciate your help.
In Windows, there is an option where pressing the CTRL key will help to identify the mouse pointer using a temporary display of several radiating concentric circles around the mouse pointer. Is there something like this on OS X?
In the release of OS X El Capitan, just shake the cursor to locate it.
From Apple:
Call out your cursor.
Lost your cursor on your crowded desktop? Just shake your finger back and forth on the trackpad or give your mouse a shake, and the cursor gets bigger so it’s easy to spot.
To enable/disable this feature, go to System Preferences > Accessibility > Shake mouse pointer to locate
Shake mouse pointer to locate
Quickly move the mouse pointer back and forth to make it bigger.
Pointer Finder
This app will put a circle around your cursor when you press a key.
With OS X El Capitan and later, all you need to do is move the mouse back and forth quickly, and it will automatically make the mouse bigger. The advantage of this is that you don't need to manually set your mouse to a bigger size if you don't want to.
If this doesn't work for you, the option to turn it on can be found in System Preferences > Accessibility > Display > Shake mouse pointer to locate
