Restricting mouse to stay on computer.

[krisj 0]

I have used synergy and mouse without borders. One feature that is very useful in mouse without borders is adding a key press to screen switching. Right now, I have multiple computers set up and will be typing in a window. My arm will inevitably move the mouse and it will end up on another computer. Now the area I was typing into is no longer in focus.

 

With mouse without borders, I had screen switching locked by the control key. The mouse would not transfer to another computer without holding the control key while at the screen border. 

Is there a setting that will mimic this feature? The timeout does not work because the mouse cursor still ends up on the next computer and adds delay under normal use.

It's under Keyboard & Mouse...Enable lock to screen. Then press Scroll Lock to lock to screen.

Thank you. This does help.

 

Do you know if this can be bound to another key?

Under the same Keyboard and Mouse section if you click on Hotkey configuration you can set a hotkey to Lock to screen. I haven't actually used that but I see that its available.

Thank you for the help in figuring this out. I was able to bind a key to lock the mouse to a screen. Significant improvement!
