I wish there was a way to make the mouse cursor stand out more when (and only when) it's over the terminal. Maybe it's because I use a dark terminal background, I can hardly ever see the thing.

There's a system wide setting to make the cursor huge, but I don't want a huge cursor everywhere. And there's a terminal preference to make the insertion cursor different, but that's a different cursor, not the mouse cursor.

When do I want to see the mouse cursor? It's useful for things like highlighting a git hash or a few lines of text for copy/paste.

in windows theres something where you can press controll and it will shoot circles out from your mouse which is pretty useful, not sure if there is anything like that in osx
