bash/x-mouse/xwarppointer/README

   1 Xwarppointer allows you to do manipulation of the pointer on the screen.
   2
   3 The first mode of operation switches from screen to screen which is described
   4 below. The rest is self explanatory, just run xwarppointer with no arguments
   5 and you will get usage.
   6
   7 If you have a multihead display, with multiple display/screens instead of one
   8 giant virtual screen, this mode is useful. To use it, you should bind it to
   9 some key sequence in your window manager. The program then allows you to warp
  10 the pointer to a different screen, so you can move the mouse easily between
  11 montiors with just a single keystroke (keeping the same X and Y positions).
  12
  13 The usage is:
  14
  15    xwarppointer screen <#>      This will warp the pointer to the screen you
  16                                 specify.
  17
  18    xwarppointer screen -        This will warp the pointer to the screen before
  19                                 the current one. If on the first screen, it
  20                                 will wrap to the last.
  21
  22    xwarppointer screen +        This will warp the pointer to the screen after
  23                                 the current one.  If on the last screen, it
  24                                 will wrap to the first.

  29 Example usage:
  30
  31 Using FVWM, I have the following line in my FVWM config file:
  32
  33 Key F11         A       N      Exec xwarppointer screen +
  34
  35 This will cause F11 with no modifiers in any part of the screen to run
  36 "xwarppointer screen +", thus causing the pointer to go to the next montior.
  37 Once the cursor hits the last montior, when I hit F11 again, it goes back to
  38 the first.
