On newer macos shaking the mouse back and forth makes the pointer get larger (so you can find it).

KDE has a similar feature: When you hold Ctrl+Win, it will draw revolving circle segments in black and white around the cursor to allow you to find it. It looks like this: https://imgur.com/a/67wfI (You'll have to imagine the cursor inside these circles. My screenshot utility won't include it in the image for some reason.)

Heh...I think Windows 3.11 already had that feature (Ctrl -> Circle zooming in to mouse) :)
