Recommend Product: YES

The shareware CursorZoom let you change cursor size - but also made the cursor automatically return to the dialog box after an operation. This was a precursor to what LazyMouse now does. The Mac OS has recently incorporated this feature into the system, but for some reason decoded not to keep its unheralded feature.

LazyMouse performs the task efficiently. Although most users will use the Apple keys for this (still the best option), there are times when it's convenient to have the cursor right near the dialog box nearby. In fact, it can be addictive.

CursorZoom had a couple of advantages: it was free, and the cursor would "zoom" across the screen to the dialog box. This "animation" would bring attention tot he location of the cursor. LazyMouse is a little more basic, but does the same basic job. Of course, the mouse won't move when confronted with flash-type dialog boxes, or certain installers. It's the kind of small application you wouldn't think you needed - until you're without it.
