Fairly positive due to blurry cursors, but I have no way to verify.

If you run xeyes and the eyes follow your cursor when it's above the application you want to test, it's running under xwayland. If they don't follow your cursor, the application is running under native Wayland.

Welp, looks like it is running native wayland yet the cursors are blurry. The only time I have ever experienced that is when an app is running under xwayland.

finally a use for xeyes?

I don't use vanilla xeyes but I use the Window Maker dockapp version (https://bstern.org/wmeyes/) to make it easier to find my cursor on the screen.

Ha. KDE 6 has something like if you jiggle the cursor a certain way, it temporarily grows larger.

Better than Windows's function of "hide all my windows"...

I think every OS has this feature. Sometimes it is hidden in an accessibility menu and needs to be turned on.

Pressing some key a few times in Windows highlights your cursor. I just can't remember what it was (Ctrl I think)

Yup, Ctrl twice.

Once works. It's an option you have to turn on: Settings > Mouse > Additional mouse options > Show location of pointer when I press the CTRL key.

Oh thank you thank you. I moved to Windows 11 and the feature disappeared - it is right where your path points to.

I always run xeyes in any net-enabled gui. iykyk.

If you run xlsclients it will list all applications running through xwayland.

Oooh, thank you this is very convenient. Confirmed zed is not listed here.
