Mouse Control

I have where my mouse pointer will move to the center of a window when it is opened by default for all windows, but I would like it to not move my cursor if the cursor is already on that window or within its radius.

Do you have this setup using a Window Location rule?

Yes.

Ok, awesome. We've just added a new scripting API in the DisplayFusion 7.0 Beta versions, so we'll write up a scripted Function that will do this for you

Thanks!

Also, there's a big issue with defaulting all windows to go to your current monitor. Can you add support for fullscreen windowed and fullscreen to not obey this as exclusions?

This should actually be possible with our new scripted functions. We can write that up here. Could you tell me the name of some of the apps/games that you're running full screen borderless so that we can test one out here?

Videogames mostly. I want all my windows to open on my current monitor my cursor is, except for games and such which should always be placed on my primary monitor unless the app itself moves it (basically ignore these windows and let the app manage them).

Ok, I think this may be possible by adding a second Window Location rule that's more specific, but runs a Function that does nothing. I'll test it out here when I have a chance and I'll keep you posted

Ok, turns out it's not currently possible to exclude an application altogether from a wildcard Window Location rule. I've added this to our list, and we'll be sure to let you know when we've implemented that option

Thanks!

Okay no worries. I turned it off for now, it doesn't really speed up my workflow that much since of that inconvenience.

We've just released a new DisplayFusion beta version (http://www.displayfusion.com/Download/Beta/) and you can now create a Window Location rule for a specific application, and choose "Do Nothing" from the drop-down to have it get ignored by Window Location. Please let us know if you run into any trouble after updating.

Thanks!

It's a good improvement, but what I was talking about was global.

You have like if your mouse is at the active window/monitor already, it should't move it.

Ah, my bad. I was getting your two requests mixed up. For your original request, you can do this now. Here are the steps:

On the Settings > Functions tab, click the Download Scripted button, and download the "Move Mouse to Centre of Windows (if not already there) function.
Setup your Window Location rule like the attached screenshot.

Hopefully I've got it right that time! If not, please let me know
