Windows 10 – Shortcut to Jump Mouse Cursor Between Screens

keyboard shortcutsmousewindows 10

I have two screens on my Windows 10 machine, and find it cumbersome to change the mouse cursor from one screen to another. The only way I know is to drag the mouse cursor from one screen to another, but that requires travelling some distance and going through the unblocked corner.

Is there a shortcut that would allow my mouse cursor to jump from one screen to another?

Many sources can be found for Windows 10 shortcuts. For example, Gizmodo's The Ultimate Guide to Windows 10 Keyboard Shortcuts that includes:

Windows Key+Shift+Left (or Right) — move a window to your next monitor.

If your problem is moving the mouse rather than a window, you need a tool such as AutoHotKey.

Here is a script (untested) that assumes your two monitors are of the same size, that uses Ctrl+Space for this:

^Space::
  CoordMode, Mouse, Screen ; mouse coordinates relative to the screen
  MouseGetPos, MouseX, MouseY
  if (MouseX > A_ScreenWidth) {
    MouseMove, -A_ScreenWidth, 0, 0, R
  } else {
    MouseMove, A_ScreenWidth, 0, 0, R
  }
return
