Monitor wraparound

Open waydabber opened this issue 2 years ago • 10 comments

Carried over from https://github.com/MonitorControl/MonitorControl/discussions/1019

I have an idea for a feature I call Wraparound, which comes from an old piece of software of the same name that's no longer supported. The idea is that you could select sides of a monitor that, when enabled, allows the cursor to wrap around to the other edge. For example, in a 2 monitor setup, when your cursor moves to the left edge of the left monitor, instead of stopping, it wraps around to the right edge of the right monitor. Or if your cursor moves to the top of your monitor, instead of stopping, it wraps around to the bottom of the monitor, basically eliminating monitor edges. On large, 2-monitor systems, it's a godsend. Here's an image of the product's Preferences, indicating wraparound edges on the left edge of the left monitor and right edge of the right monitor:

This is a feature I would be happy to fund. Thoughts?

Just to be thorough, here are screen shots of the other Preference panes:

As you can see, it was made to be application specific as well.

I would definitely use that feature :) I think it's something you would quickly get used to.

Hopefully I'll be getting there eventually. :) I am bogged down in implementing various stuff planned for v1.2.x - it's a lot of work.

Are there plans for implementing this in 1.2.x or 1.3.x?

Yes, I am planning to look into it but not in v1.2.x as that release now has a fixed feature set (see the milestone). I might even leave some stuff out of that as the cycle is getting too long as I am bogged down fixing various bugs. :/

OK. Thanks for the update.

Any movement on this request? Still really hoping it can be added...

Yes, it can be added, will get there eventually! But there is no ETA as of now.
