Search for lost mouse cursors.

Microsoft in the United States is the latest stable version of "Microsoft PowerToys" on December 1 (Japan time).51.0 was released.The changes in this update are diverse, but the most notable is that the Mouse Utilities introduced in the previous version has been further enhanced.

"MOUSE UTILITIES" is a function that highlights the area around the mouse cursor by pressing the [Ctrl] key twice.You can easily find a lost mouse cursor.

Then, a dedicated setting screen was provided in this "Find My Mouse" function, and the highlight style could be customized in detail.In the past, there were only options to disable highlights in the game mode, but it was quite fulfilling.

Next, a new function called "Mouse Highlighter" was added.This highlights the point position when pushing the mouse button, and is positioned as a presentation support function.When activated, the "concentrated mode" of the OS is enabled, and it is also suitable for the presentation that it is not displayed except for important notifications.

To use "Mouse Highlighter", first turn on the function with [Windows] + [Shift] + [H] key.Then, in the default, the left click is yellow and the right click is highlighted blue.The color of the shortcut keys and highlights that turn on/off functions can be customized on the setting screen.I would like to use it for cases where I want to demonstrate how to operate at a remote meeting.

The development team will work on the development of a function that displays any window "always".In addition, next month, the company will work on improving the engineering system so that localization and build processing can be performed more efficiently.

"PowerToys" is a Microsoft official system utility group provided for power users.Windows 95/XP's efforts were being actively implemented in Windows 10 and revived in open source."FancyZone", which can be placed quickly in a fixed position, "PowerRename", which can change the file name in bulk, and "Shortcut Guide", which can refer to the shortcut GUI help by holding and holding the [Windows] key.There are many useful functions that can be felt as standard.

The corresponding OS is after "Windows 10 Version 1903" and can be downloaded free of charge from the "GitHub" project page.If it is Windows 10/11, it can be obtained from "Microsoft Store".If you are already in use, you can update with the built -in updator.
