Hi, I 'm running latest KDE on openSUSE Tumbleweed, and try to activate the mouse mark. That should work on Meta-Shift.
I have a 105 key keyboard, and meta (left windoze key) and shift key together are pressed (and working).
However, no mouse mark.
Does anyone got this working? Or is there another extention which I could try?
(I have a laptop with a high resolution and work outside every now and then - finding the mouse is a real challenge…)
Thanks!
Hi! Just checking, does switching Mouse Mark to use a different key combination - like maybe Ctrl+Shift - help? And just to double-check, you’re holding down those keys when moving the mouse, right?
For what it’s worth - if the need that you’re trying to solve is finding the cursor, is Shake Cursor (under Accessibility) potentially helpful for you?
Thanks for the hints.
I foun dout in between that it is a problem with my user (quite an old KDE-setup over many years) and shake cursor for example works on a new user flawlessly.
Do you know which file I have to touch to reset the behaviour?

The settings for those Desktop Effects are stored in ~/.config/kwinrc, and the shortcuts for activating them are stored in ~/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc - since those files also hold other settings, it might be best to compare the versions from the new user account that works with the ones in your existing user’s account, to narrow down possible issues 
Hi,
thanks again for your help. I created a diff of the two files (see paste dot opensuse dot org/pastes/195315f6cdee - cant include links here ), but there was no obvious trigger for the difference.
So I saved the original kwinrc and copied the one from the test user…it works and I could not spot disadvantages up to now.
