ABSTRACT:
Embodiments of the present invention generally provide methods, systems, and articles of manufacture for locating a cursor displayed on one of a set of one or more monitors. According to some embodiments, in response to receiving specified user input, visual indication of the location of the cursor may be provided on one or more monitors not containing the cursor. Visual indication of the location of the cursor may also be provided on the monitoring containing the cursor. The specified user input may include any type of suitable user input, such as mouse movements, keystroke sequences (e.g., hot keys,) and/or audio input (e.g., voice commands). For some embodiments, parameters used for locating the cursor (e.g., the specified user input, sensitivity to mouse movements, etc.) may be specified by a user, for example, via a graphical user interface (GUI) screen.
