Ubuntu: mouse sonar

Question

Is there a way of creating a sonar effect to find your mouse cursor on Ubuntu 18.04?

Ideally something that can be triggered via a keyboard shortcut.

This post shows a mouse 'sonar' effect, in lieu of the 'mouse trail' effect typically used in Ubuntu, using an xlib program courtesy of arp242 which you must make and compile. It can be mapped to a specific key.

In Ubuntu 19.10 - use gnome-tweaks (sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool) - select Keyboard & Mouse - In Mouse section, select pointer location

pressing ctrl will show the mouse location when this option is activated!
