I have two screens. mainly I use only one but I want when I'm gaming or something to have skype open on the second screen. this works well, until I want to do something in skype. In both starcraft II and warcraft III the mouse just won't move to the other screen while on the desktop or in non-games the mouse jumps from screen to screen when I move it to the edge.
I there a way to make the mouse still jump from screen to screen when a game is on? or even better have a shortcut that moves the mouse to another screen (like alt-1 will put it on screen 1, alt-2 on screen 2)?

You can always run the game as a borderless window, if the application supports it. However, this can sometimes lead to reduced performance or other issues.
One neat trick I use is the Steam overlay. In fullscreen games that "trap" the mouse to a single monitor, I simply bring up the Steam overlay with Shift+Tab and then I am able to move the cursor to another monitor.
Even if the game isn't available on Steam, you can simply add it to your game library and run it with the Steam overlay enabled.
