  <p>If you have trouble seeing where the mouse pointer is on your screen, you
  can make it so that simply pressing the <key>Ctrl</key> key will locate your
  pointer.  Once this is set up, pressing <key>Ctrl</key> will cause an
  animation to appear briefly at the location of your pointer.</p>

  <steps>
    <item>
      <p>Click your name on the top bar and select <gui>Settings</gui>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Open <gui>Mouse &amp; Touchpad</gui> and select the <gui>Mouse</gui>
      tab.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Select <gui>Show position of pointer when the Control key is
      pressed</gui>.</p>
    </item>
  </steps>

  <p>Your <key>Ctrl</key> keys will now locate the pointer when pressed.</p>
