Help! My screen is zoomed in and tracks my mouse cursor constantly

Asked By TechieNinja42 On

I've got an Asus laptop running CachyOS, and after accidentally pressing something on the keyboard (I dropped my jacket on it), my screen is zoomed in and it follows my mouse pointer around. This is super strange and doesn't go away even after I restart the laptop. I've searched for solutions, but most people seem to have issues with their Ctrl key being stuck, which isn't what's happening here. I'm planning to upload a video to show what's going on. Any ideas on how to fix this?

You mentioned you’re on CachyOS, and I know Linux can be a bit different. Have you tried rebooting? Sometimes it takes a fresh start to resolve weird issues. Also, try to check for any system updates—there might be a fix in the latest version.

It sounds like you’ve accidentally enabled a zoom or accessibility feature. On many Linux distributions, you can check for mouse pointer settings or accessibility options in the system settings. Look specifically for anything related to zoom or pointer tracking. If you can’t find it, try adjusting the display settings—sometimes they can get mixed up after random key presses.
