Getting started
Spot lives in the menu bar. Click its icon to show or hide the spot. Right-, Control- or Command-click the icon for the menu: size, color, opacity, Hide While Clicking, Open at Login, and the full list of keyboard shortcuts.
Hold a key
| ⌥ | Laser, while held. Clicks still go to your apps, and holding ⌥ in a menu works as usual. |
| ⌃ | Spot, while held — even when the spot is switched off. |
| ⇧ | Spot at double size (also together with ⌃). |
A key counts after a quarter second on its own, so shortcuts and typed characters don't trigger it.
Shortcuts, from any app
| ⌃ + key left of 1 | Show or hide the spot (⌃^ on German keyboards, ⌃` on US keyboards) |
| ⌃ + key left of Y/Z | Laser on or off (ISO keyboards, e.g. ⌃< on German) |
| ⌃⌥⌘K / ⌃⌥⌘L | Show or hide the spot / laser on or off, on every keyboard |
| ⌃⌥⌘← / → | Smaller / larger |
| ⌃⌥⌘↑ / ↓ | More opaque / more transparent |
Questions
Why doesn't Spot ask for any permissions? It only reads where the pointer is and which modifier keys are held, which macOS allows without special access. It never sees what you type.
A shortcut does nothing. Another app may use the same shortcut. Quit the other app or use the menu bar icon; the menu's Keyboard Shortcuts list shows every shortcut.
Clicks don't reach my app while the laser is on. When the laser is switched on (⌃< or ⌃⌥⌘L), it takes clicks so you can draw. Switch it off to click normally. Holding ⌥ alone never blocks clicks.
How do I uninstall Spot? Quit it from its menu and move it from Applications to the Trash.
