Disable El Capitan’s Big Cursor When You Shake

In Mac OS El Capitan, when you shake the cursor to locate it, the cursor gets bigger. This does make it easier to find, but I work so quickly I find it happens accidentally. I find it a bit distracting, so here’s how to disable it.

1. Launch System Preferences (found in the Apple menu > System Preferences).
2. Click on Accessibility.
3. On the left select Display.
4. Uncheck Shake mouse pointer to locate.
