Add option to move mouse pointer

Closed this issue · 8 comments

I would love to be able to add a shortcut to only move the mouse to the "next" monitor. Something like:

movescreen.py next mouse

Sometimes the window is already on the correct screen, I just want to move the mouse there ;)

Is it possible to move both the window and mouse simultaneously to another monitor?

When I chain the two commands in a terminal as such:
/usr/local/bin/movescreen.py right | /usr/local/bin/movescreen.py right mouse
both the terminal and the mouse move to the window on the right. However, when I try using this as a keyboard shortcut in xfce, the mouse pointer changes from a cursor to a cross. Any ideas?

I'd also love moving the mouse along with the screen.

Something like:

movescreen right --include-mouse

Are PRs welcome on this repo?

Ok, so I added the possibility to specify multiples id or mouse at the end, e.g. :

  • "" -> active win
  • "a" or "active" -> same
  • "a m" -> active and mouse
  • etc...
    Can you please check if it suits your needs?

That sounds perfect. I'm going to test it out tomorrow soon and report back :)

Sorry for the delay. I didn't have a second screen for a couple of weeks, which made it kind of hard to test 😂

The solution is lovely; although I opened a new issue regarding
the print arg on line 30.
