Method: How to find where the cursor is and increase the double click time in 20.04.03-Ubuntu. Through Dconf.
 
Show cursor location when not immediately visible:
1. $ gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.mouse locate-pointer true - works in 18.04-Ubuntu via any Ctrl, available in X11 (by default), but not in Wayland session.
2. $ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface locate-pointer true -Works in 20.04-Ubuntu via left Ctrl, available in X11 and Wayland session.
or (the reason why 2 or 3 points works is not clear)
3. $ gsettings set org.gnome.mutter locate-pointer-key Control_L -Works in 20.04-Ubuntu via Left Ctrl
Thanks shruggy!
If it ceases to be displayed, you need to run it again.

Adjusting the time of double click of the mouse, by default 400 -> 750:
(double-click ~ Double-click time - The length of the double-click in milliseconds.)
$ gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.mouse double-click '750'
In 20.04.02-Ubuntu it was previously in the Main link-Settings-Mouse and touchpad, and in 20.04.03-Ubuntu disappeared.
