lubot[telegram] <Rodrigo> is there a place where to put feature request? I know Ubuntu is a big machine, but just asking anyway...02:40
lubot[telegram] <Rodrigo> Does Lubuntu inherits everyhing from Ubuntu or what degree of flexibility/independence does it have?02:41
lubot[telegram] <Rodrigo> My feature request is: create an option to locate the mouse cursor when the user press a given key (eg CTRL)02:42
lubot[telegram] <Rodrigo> it sounds super silly yet I can't find a simple way to do it without installing 3rd party (if any) apps02:42
guiverc@Rodrigo, you can file a bug (just mark it clearly as a FEATURE REQUEST), request on Lubuntu's discourse (again highlight its a feature request etc).  If it's a LXQt specific feature you want you may want to go upstream & file with LXQt  (note: we're still on 1.2 so one step behind upstream; debian are packaging 1.3 currently)04:03
guivercfyi:  I can appreciate your request.. I have five screens & often lose my mouse-pointer; on iRC the #lubuntu-devel would be appropriate but good chance it'll get lost & you'll be requested to file via bug report or discourse...  I'm not sure where/how the 'feature' would be implemented though (I have oneko running on this box)04:05
lubot[telegram] <Rodrigo> thanks a lot @guiverc 😊04:25
lubot[telegram] <Rodrigo> oneko!!!! how cool!!!!πŸ‘πŸ½πŸ‘πŸ½πŸ˜„04:27
guivercit doesn't annoy me.. (not sure it helps much.. but i can move mouse & then just scan looking for the 'cat' moving on screens instead of having to keep moving the mouse & getting frustrated etc..)04:29
lynorian[m]Well Rodrigo there is the qeyes panel widget which looks towards where the mouse pointer is in a panel which if you have 23.04 would have that in there but with a lot of screens just provides a direction.04:29
guiverc:)  great suggestion lynorian[m] !  (disappointed I didn't think of that... I think I always chase 'my cat')04:31
lubot[telegram] <Rodrigo> haha I love oneko... no more problems for me😁04:32
lubot[telegram] <Rodrigo> already added to my autostart04:32
guivercyou can always use the qeyes panel widget as well... (at least it doesn't sleep over something you want to read!)04:36
lubot[telegram] <Rodrigo> 😊04:37
lynorian[m]Also maybe try a different cursor theme to have one that is birght and stands out more I remember making my cursor purple and it didn't hide as much there is oxygen-cursor-theme-extra 04:38
lubot[telegram] <Rodrigo> yes, I see your point. My problem is mainly when I'm editing documents, the cursor becomes invisible. And to thicken it I have to go to obscure configurations (ie, I am not 100% what I am doing) (re @lubuntu_bot: (irc) <lynorianm> Also maybe try a different cursor theme to have one that is birght and stands out more I remember making my cursor purple and it didn't hide as much there is oxygen-cursor-theme-extra)04:39
