When you have multiple monitors, and we need to search for a mouse, it becomes difficult to see where its hiding. Windows had a good feature to highlight mouse when you press Ctrl, but linux typically dont have that. So I used following workaround to achieve same effect in i3.
sudo apt install libx11-dev libxcomposite-dev libxdamage-dev libxrender-dev
mkdir ~/git
cd git
git clone https://github.com/Carpetsmoker/find-cursor.git
cd find-cursor
make
echo "bindsym $mod+F5 exec /home/maahi/git/find-cursor/find-cursor -of" >> ~/.config/i3/config
