Image of my monitor config
SUMMARY
I have a 3 monitor setup As shown in the attachment. When using this
configuration i cannot move from monitor A to monitor C or vice versa. If I
want to get from A to C I must first go down to B and then over to C and to
where i want to be on that monitor. I understand this is caused by the monitors
not being touching in the config but this is necessary to ensure movements
between A and B translate to how the monitors are positioned on my desk.
I would love an option to be able to effectively "teleport" my mouse across the
gap between A and C instead of having to use B as my highway between those
monitors.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. configure a multi-monitor (probably has to be min 3 monitors) with two
aligned but not touching such that there is a valid configuration but at least
2 of the monitors are not touching in the config.
2. Try to move directly between the two not touching monitors and observe that
the mouse is locked from traversing this void.
OBSERVED RESULT
Mouse cannot traverse any gaps between monitors even if they are otherwise
aligned. Ex a gap in X even if the monitors are on the same Y plane just not
touching
EXPECTED RESULT
Ideally would be able to have the mouse traverse this gap to increase
efficiency and ease of use.
