Gnome 2 had something built in that would show you where the cursor was when you tapped the control key. At one time, it turned the cursor into a big blue ball for a moment, at another, into a large, spinning square. If Gnome 3 doesn't already have this, it shouldn't be too hard for somebody to find the code for it and make a plugin out of it. And, if they do, I'd appreciate getting it ported to Xfce, as I'd like to have it again.
It is possible. Go to Settings -> Mouse and Touchpad. Under the tab Mouse, select "show position of the cursor when the Control key is pressed". After this, you can get the location of the cursor (with a nice animation) by just pressing CTRL.
