PS, The Synaptics touchpad software has a pointer option:<br>
<br>
[x] Show location of pointer when I press the CTRL key<br>
<br>
When I let up on the control key, a concentric ring appears like a large halo around the cursor and grows smaller, converging on the pointer and disappearing -- all in about one second after lift-off on control key.<br>

A easily discoverable gesture perhaps? ...rather than a secret<br>
incantation ;-)<br>
<br>
Such as resting on the touchpad for a moment (longer than a tap)<br>
without moving around much, then lifting off to provoke a ripple<br>
wave or some kind of visual highlight? (The two thresholds would<br>
be time on pad and distance moved.)<br>
<br>
That would reduce the occurrence of waves so that they don't<br>
happen with every touch.<br>
<br>

The resting idea likes to me more. May be we would need an icon in the touch pad to make explicit this gesture (in the same spirit of the arrows for page top-down displacement).<br>

pdt: Have you realized that you send me the answer just to me? That was intended?<br>
