The Show mouse plugin draws a ring of stars that encircle and trail your mouse cursor as it moves.
Using Show Mouse
Show mouse draws your attention to the mouse cursor by causing a ring of stars to orbit around the cursor. Many aspects of the ring's appearance can be customised: its size, speed, colour, the shapes and trails of the star clusters, and more.
A video demonstrating some of its possibilities is available on YouTube.
The show mouse effect can be toggled on and off with the Initiate key binding, the default of which is <Super>k.
The Mouse position polling plugin must be available for this plugin to work.
