(Pardon my vague understanding of multi-monitor mode's workings under the hood, as I joined this list to get a better hang of mouse behavior and absorb a bit of modern X programming savvy by osmosis. If I'm wrong about anything corrections from saner souls are welcomed.) If multiple monitors is handled as a giant screen of broader pixel range, then simple repositioning of the mosue cursor to a given pixel location should be sufficient. If, as a user, you can use -geometry to place new windows on any of your monitors, then I would expect the answer to be yes. That lends the answer to being a window manager function - if it (1) lets you jump the mouse cursor that way (rather than merely new windows), and (2) allows assignment of function key to invoke that ability, then sure, I don't see why not. If you're writing a WM that wants to do this I hope one of the others can do it already; that would make it easy to see how they coded this up. . | .
