Follow Mouse Interaction

Make an element follow the pointer (with optional smoothing and axis lock) using the follow-mouse trigger.

Where: Right sidebar → Interactions → Pointer → Follow mouse — Add a Follow mouse interaction

Key ideas

• Axis & scope: Lock to x/y/both; scope to the element or the whole window.
• Smoothing: A smooth factor eases the follow for a trailing feel.
• Distinct trigger: follow-mouse is its own trigger type — switching to/from it rebuilds the animation type, not just the trigger.

Steps

1. Select the element to move.
2. Add a "Follow mouse" interaction (Pointer category).
3. Set axis, scope, and smoothing.
4. Preview by moving the pointer.
