What does successively pressing the Ctrl key twice do?

  • 772

I am using Ubuntu 12.10.

See this short video of what actually shows up on screen when we successively press the Ctrl key twice:

What does it do? Is it a shortcut? Acts as a Hotkey? A easter egg? What exactly does happen?

Now, once it has been activated, every single press of Ctrl key triggers this action.

    That's just the "show mouse" highlight.

    Settings -> Mouse and Touchpad -> Show position of pointer when the Control key is pressed.
