Quickly Locate Mouse Pointer In Linux Mint / Ubuntu

An earlier post described how to configure the mouse pointer settings in Windows so that whenever Ctrl key is pressed, the pointer location can be easily identified.

Here is how to do the same in Linux Mint / Ubuntu :

1. Go to Menu and select Preferences > Mouse and Touchpad.
