TC Cursor Utilities is a desktop pointer inspection, pixel magnification,
mouse polling-rate benchmark, and visual cursor overlay toolkit for Linux.
An independent Linux alternative inspired by PowerToys Mouse Utilities for
desktop cursor tracking, live pixel magnification, hardware mouse polling-rate
and click speed benchmarking, and visual spotlight or crosshair overlays.
Key Features:
- Global Cursor Tracker: Real-time X/Y coordinates via QCursor.pos(), live
pointer velocity (px/s), cumulative travel distance in pixels and physical
centimeters using real monitor DPI, and multi-screen boundary detection.
- Zoomed Pixel Crosshair Magnifier: Live 8x to 24x pixel-grid loupe via
QScreen.grabWindow inspecting exact HEX, RGB, HSL, HSV, and WCAG relative
luminance under the cursor with pinned swatch history.
- Mouse Polling-Rate (Hz) & Click Benchmark: High-resolution monotonic
nanosecond event analyzer measuring real pointer report rate (Hz), frame
interval jitter (ms), click speed (CPS), and switch hold/bounce intervals.
- Spotlight & Crosshair Overlay Helper: Toggleable click-through transparent
desktop overlay window providing precision alignment hairlines and cursor
locator halo rings, plus Linux XCursor theme diagnostics and CSV/JSON/TXT
report export.
