Gnome等ではマウスカーソル位置を見失った時にマウスカーソル位置を Ctrl key でハイライト表示できる．awesome wmでもこれをやりたい．

find-cursorを導入して実現する．

• arp242/find\-cursor: Highlight the cursor position in X11

$ git clone https://github.com/arp242/find-cursor
$ cd find-cursor
$ make
$ cp ./find-cursor ~/bin/

~/.config/awesome/rc.lua を編集して適当なキーバインドで呼ぶようにする．以下ではmod4+Ctrl+cでオレンジ色のハイライトが表示される．

    awful.key({ modkey,  "Control" }, "c", function () awful.util.spawn("find-cursor --color orange") end),

~/.Xresources に以下のような行を書く．次のセッションから有効．

Xcursor.size: 48

~/.icons/default/index.theme を編集

[icon theme] 
Inherits=redglass
