That’s the reason why I bought this software, but unfortunately I recognized that at the present development state it doesn’t suits my conditions 100%. I will try to find some free time to spend on that and I will post here when I have news. ]]> RE: Locking the mouse cursor to the edges of the monitor if only one is active https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/locking-the-mouse-cursor-to-the-edges-of-the-monitor-if-only-one-is-active/?ID=21e47151-2972-481f-9110-8c8aa28b3328#8 Mon, 28 Oct 2019 17:14:23 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/locking-the-mouse-cursor-to-the-edges-of-the-monitor-if-only-one-is-active/?ID=21e47151-2972-481f-9110-8c8aa28b3328#8 DisplayFusion Ok, is there any chance you could enable splitting again temporarily and send me a copy of your DisplayFusion troubleshooting info while it's enabled?

How are you moving it to the next monitor? Using the TitleBar Button?
I have setup a keyboard shortcut in the functions. The shortcut is
CTRL + Shift + left or right arrow

>2. If you do a full reboot, is it still slow to keep the mouse on the monitor?
The mouse gets appearing slowly when the focus gets lost.

>3. Which icons are missing on the taskbars besides the search icon? At the >moment it's not possible for us to invoke Cortana search from our taskbars :(
The half of the icons are missing.

I have removed the subwindowing option from my primary monitor and will wait until this gets improved. I suggest to implement the subwindowing option like handling every subwindow like a window and not like a seperate monitor. This only brings problems and is totaly unstable now :(. ]]> RE: Locking the mouse cursor to the edges of the monitor if only one is active https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/locking-the-mouse-cursor-to-the-edges-of-the-monitor-if-only-one-is-active/?ID=21e47151-2972-481f-9110-8c8aa28b3328#6 Fri, 25 Oct 2019 15:59:00 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/locking-the-mouse-cursor-to-the-edges-of-the-monitor-if-only-one-is-active/?ID=21e47151-2972-481f-9110-8c8aa28b3328#6 DisplayFusion Thanks for the feedback!

Nevertheless, I have tested the software now for 1,5 days and it is not realy bad, but it has a lot of bugs to fix some of them I encountered are the following ones:

1. When windows starts and I switch Google to the second monitor I got a black screen and I couldn't get this working without closing chrome. This caused me to loose all my open windows.

2. Sometimes the behaviour of the mouse is wired, which means that when the focus gets lost to get it back it takes r.a. 2 seconds which is not acceptable.
I have created a function short cut for that, but this is not a good behaviour.

3. I have settup the taksbar to be the same on all my monitors (1 monitor sub divided into 2 and an additional one) and this doesn't work well. Some icons are missing and the search bar is only available in the first subwindow of the primary monitor.

In my opinion there is a lot of work to do to get this application realy professional and bug less, but it is not a bad application at all. Keep the good work guys :). ]]> RE: Locking the mouse cursor to the edges of the monitor if only one is active https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/locking-the-mouse-cursor-to-the-edges-of-the-monitor-if-only-one-is-active/?ID=21e47151-2972-481f-9110-8c8aa28b3328#4 Thu, 24 Oct 2019 18:31:07 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/locking-the-mouse-cursor-to-the-edges-of-the-monitor-if-only-one-is-active/?ID=21e47151-2972-481f-9110-8c8aa28b3328#4 DisplayFusion Ah gotcha. We'd need to add a new function then, something like "Lock/Unlock Mouse Cursor to Current Monitor (ignore monitor splits)." I've put that on our feature request list, and we'll be sure to let you know when we're able to add that.

Thanks! ]]> RE: Locking the mouse cursor to the edges of the monitor if only one is active https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/locking-the-mouse-cursor-to-the-edges-of-the-monitor-if-only-one-is-active/?ID=21e47151-2972-481f-9110-8c8aa28b3328#3 Wed, 23 Oct 2019 18:24:08 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/locking-the-mouse-cursor-to-the-edges-of-the-monitor-if-only-one-is-active/?ID=21e47151-2972-481f-9110-8c8aa28b3328#3 DisplayFusion Forgotten to mention I have divided the active monitor into two subscreens. I have tried your solution before, but the mouse gets only locked on one subscreen and not on the entire monitor screen boundaries. This is because DF sees every subscreen as a separate monitor (which I realy don't understand why or why there is no function to disable that). ]]> RE: Locking the mouse cursor to the edges of the monitor if only one is active https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/locking-the-mouse-cursor-to-the-edges-of-the-monitor-if-only-one-is-active/?ID=21e47151-2972-481f-9110-8c8aa28b3328#2 Wed, 23 Oct 2019 18:16:49 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/locking-the-mouse-cursor-to-the-edges-of-the-monitor-if-only-one-is-active/?ID=21e47151-2972-481f-9110-8c8aa28b3328#2 DisplayFusion There sure is! On the Settings > Functions tab, you can set a key combination on the "Lock/Unlock Mouse Cursor to Current Monitor."

There wouldn't be a way to automatically detect when the second monitor is off though. If the mouse is passing over to it when it's turned off, that means that Windows is still seeing it as enabled, so DisplayFusion would also think it's enabled still. ]]> Locking the mouse cursor to the edges of the monitor if only one is active https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/locking-the-mouse-cursor-to-the-edges-of-the-monitor-if-only-one-is-active/?ID=21e47151-2972-481f-9110-8c8aa28b3328 Wed, 23 Oct 2019 14:38:02 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/locking-the-mouse-cursor-to-the-edges-of-the-monitor-if-only-one-is-active/?ID=21e47151-2972-481f-9110-8c8aa28b3328 DisplayFusion Hello, is there a function or trigger which locks the cursor to the current active monitor?. The problem is that if I switch my second one off the and move the cursor on the first (active) monitor to the edges, the cursor disapears and doesn't get locked onto the dges of the monitor. If not it would be nice to implement this behaviour in the next version. ]]>
