Question Cursor location in 20.04.4 - Ubuntu LTS via DCONf


The cursor should be highlighted when you press the left Ctrl key.
Good solution on a personal computer: https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...94#post6102494
Installed from one flash drive, after updating the system becomes "20.04.4-Ubuntu LTS": it works on a personal computer, but on a notebook, "$ gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.mouse locate-pointer true" gives an error and writes that there is not even such a key.
The operating system updates did not add the DCONf key.
I don't understand how this can be?

I put "org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.mouse" into a search engine and the top two results told me:

1) Gnome 40 deprecated this setting, so presumably it has since been removed in whatever version of Gnome you're running.

2) Gnome 42 may have replaced it with Settings > Accessibility > Scroll down to "Pointing & Clicking" > Toggle "Locate Pointer"

I, by mistake, gave a link to the previous system, where the indication of the cursor location worked in Zorin OS 15 Ultimate [x64] 2019 is based on 18.04.1-Ubuntu PC.
Link to 20.04.2-Ubuntu PC (cursor location worked): https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...nf-4175704208/
Gnome version:
Code:
$ gnome-shell --version
GNOME Shell 3.36.9
Why when I give command: show cursor location. On the PC (Where, I believe, the same version of Gnome. I can definitely determine in a month.) is shown, but on the laptop it is written that there is no such key? Although both were installed from the same flash drive with 20.04.2-Ubuntu LTS and updated to 20.04.4-Ubuntu LTS.
Since the cursor location indicator worked on the old OS distribution, I believe that the Gnome: version cannot be old, even on a laptop.

I wrote for everyone, but it came in handy myself under number 2: https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...nf-4175704208/
Code:
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface locate-pointer true
And the location of the cursor on the laptop became highlighted when you press the left Ctrl . Comfortable
