Option to warp mouse cursor on click on the full screen stream target display or PIP window
When streaming a dummy to a real display, it is possible to move the mouse over to the stream target display itself. This might be confusing as it looks like the mouse is on the dummy desktop while in reality it is not, but hovering over the stream target full screen window.
There should be an option to enable mouse warp - when the user clicks on the stream full screen window, the mouse should warp to the dummy screen's proper location and the click event should be applied there.
It could also work for PIP windows (but not in headerless mode or during resizing).
To help reduce the confusion maybe it would be possible to change or annotate the mouse pointer if it won't work. For example, while the mouse pointer is over the PiP window, change it to the grab/hand symbol to show me that here I can only move the window itself and not interact with the content.
@schlomo I agree, just showing a different cursor so I know whether I'm just hovering above the PIP or if I'm inside the virtual screen would already go a long way!
Is it possible to prevent the cursor from going from the streamed display to the target display? My use-case is that I use a virtual screen that is smaller than my actual screen (a large TV) because I can't see everything at once otherwise. When my mouse reaches the edge of the screen I can see it teleporting to the other side of the screen.
Not right now, but I plan to add this feature back: https://github.com/waydabber/BetterDisplay/issues/1442
That would be amazing. Thanks for your help!

Is this something you plan to do in the short term? Otherwise I might have to look for a different solution.
