Mouse Pointer Double Extension

Allow you to add a fake mouse pointer to the active page. It follows the real mouse pointer. It is intended to use with Chromecast, so that you can see the mouse movement in the projected page.

You can activate it either by clicking on the browser action icon, or you can use a keyboard shortcut (Alt+Shift+M by default, you can edit it at chrome://extensions/configureCommands).

This extension was created as a quick excercise, inspired by Frank Katzenberger's post:
