Options -> Hotkeys -> Lock mouse to primary monitor

I previously recommended a feature request of "Lock mouse to monitor 2"

I recently had an issue where I had 3 monitors: 1|3 were duplicated and 2 was a secondary desktop. I selected lock mouse to primary monitor and it worked great on monitor 1, however monitor 3 (which is duplicated) did not allow input. To cover everyone I think a better feature suggestion is:

Lock mouse to monitor:
-The user can input the monitor number and/or numbers. A valid input would be:
1
2
1,3
allowing comma's to have the mouse movement only on the selected monitors.

This would make all users happy without creating

Lock mouse to primary monitor
Lock mouse to secondary monitor
Lock mouse to tertiary monitor
Lock mouse to primary and secondary monitor
Lock mouse to primary and tertiary monitor
Lock mouse to secondary and tertiary monitor
and users may want to lock to others. I think the above implementation is a crowd pleaser and gives most clean appearance.

I'll consider that.

Regarding the duplicated monitors: was monitor 3 a touchscreen, and didn't accept input when being a clone of monitor 1?

Lucky guess! Yes it was!

Thank you for the consideration of Lock Mouse to Secondary Monitor!

Are you sure this would work if the mouse wasn't locked to the primary?

I can't test with a touchscreen, but my guess would be that it won't accept touch input when being a clone of another monitor, this certainly wouldn't work when using UltraMon's mirroring feature.
