Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: Cusor Wormhole for multi-monitor setup

« on: December 10, 2008, 01:18 PM »

It's not a problem, it's an inconvenience. My setup is fine, both monitors act as one wide screen (2560 x 1024 pixels), Mouse properties are configured to my liking. But using my trackball to physically move the cursor across all that real estate takes time (5 rolls of the thumb from the left edge of monitor 1 to the right edge of monitor 2, multiply by the dozens of times a day I have get the cursor from one screen to the other) that could be used more productively.

I have dual Mitsubishi "Diamond Pro" 930sb 17" monitors ($5 each from the local Sheriff's Boys Ranch Thrift Store ).

Invariably I'll need to use the mouse to do something, only to find the cursor is on the other screen.

So my idea, a "Cursor Wormhole". Hit a hotkey (for me the 'Pause/Break' key would be ideal) and the cursor would vanish from one screen and reappear centered on the other screen. Sounds simple, but don't know how difficult implementation would be.

If doable 'Dot Hamn', If not
