Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Lock mouse to current display

I really enjoy the two mouse-lock features in UltraMon, namely 'Lock to primary monitor' and 'Lock to current window'. However, there are many times when I am working on large items on both displays, and while working on the secondary monitor, my mouse moves onto the first and I have to run it all the way back. On the primary monitor I can lock it, but on the secondary, I cannot.

I think a really nice feature, either as an addon or built in, would be the 'Lock mouse to current display.' Used in conjunction with the 'Move mouse to next display' hotkey, this could be very handy indeed.

Just my 2.3 cents :)

Thanks for your suggestion, I'll consider it for a future release.

Yeh, i was looking for it but couldn't find it i cant wait till can lock it on the secundary monitor.
my goal is, when i play counter-strike i want to lock the mouse on the secundary monitor to chat and switch it back to the primary monitor to game on.

Ditto... Lock mouse to current display would be great.

next -> center -> lock to current is what I have in mind...

Something equally as nice might be a screen edge resistance feature. This way I can't just casually move the mouse from one monitor to the other, I'd really have to "push" it.

What I'd like to see is a 'sticky' mouse. Often times, I'm jumping through windows, and 'overshoot' the current window. I'd be ideal if when you hit the edge ULTRAMON would STOP the cursor at the edge.

If you wanted to go past, you'd have to attempt to overrun the border within x amount of time.

Just a thought.

Was this suggestion ever added to Ultramon? Cause i would really like a hotkey to lock mouse to current display.

When couch-surfing on the TV, it's really annoying when my mouse goes over to the PC-monitor all the time, so i would like to lock it to the TV.

Also, are there any way i can create an icon on my desktop that will perform any of the hotkey actions? Cause sometimes i only have the mouse available.

Not yet, at the moment only lock to primary or active window are available.

You could do this with a custom script, for example the following code will execute CTRL+ALT+L:

Set sh = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
sh.SendKeys "^%l"

You would need to paste the code into a text file and save it with a .vbs extension.
