Is there a way to position the mouse at a certain point with the press of a button? - Diverse couple having breakfast in cafe while exploring map

As a healer with mouseover-macros I sometimes lose track of where my mouse is on-screen, losing a few seconds finding it again.

I would like to have a key bound to resetting the mouse position to a point that I can choose (I would want it to jump on the Tank in my UI).

Is there any way to do that?

I would prefer an ingame command solution to an add-on to a windows solution to a third party solution.



Best Answer

The plain answer is no.

Yes, there are a few technical tricks to do this using Windows tools (Power Shell scripts for example), but there is no ingame feature for this for a reason. Anything that positions or moves the mouse automatically is prohibited by Blizzard.

You can use a Windows feature to find your cursor more easily, though.

Control Panel -> Mouse -> see below

By enabling this setting you can press CTRL and it will point out where the curser currently is.
