Had a nightmare week with my dual monitor setup finally clicked last Tuesday

I run two 27 inch screens for web dev and for like 3 months straight I kept losing my cursor between them. Drove me nuts especially during calls. Then last Tuesday I tried that DisplayFusion tool someone mentioned and set up a hotkey to snap windows across both screens. Suddenly my whole workflow felt smooth for the first time. Has anyone else had that moment where one little software tweak just fixes everything?

Oh man, the cursor vanishing act is the worst. I had the same issue for months until I found out about holding the Windows key and pressing Shift with the arrow keys. It moves your active window from screen to screen and your cursor follows it. Total game changer for me, I stopped wasting time waving my mouse around like an idiot trying to find where it went.

@leohart that's actually genius. I've been doing the mouse wave of shame for way too long. Never knew about the Win key + Shift + arrow trick. Gonna try it out later for sure. Way better than alt tabbing a million times. thanks for the pro tip.
