I've got mouse wrapping around left/right monitor edges, which is awesome. However, it is real touchy because it slips across with just a pixel over the line. If you've got stuff near the edge of the monitor it's too easy to go to the other monitor and hard to go back and forth and target the exact item.
Is it possible to set a wrap distance, similar to the snap distance on window snapping? So it would keep the cursor at the edge of the monitor until you move at least X pixels to get to the other monitor? Similar to how Windows locks the cursor for a few pixels when you're dragging a window across monitors.
Here's an example of why I want this -- I'm running Station on my left monitor and there is a strip of icons down the left side. Very easy to miss that strip and end up on the other monitor, but if there was a 10 or 20 pixel lock area that kept the mouse at that monitor it would smoothen that right up.
Another idea here would be to watch the mouse slope as it moves. If you're moving mostly perpendicular to the wrap, wrap across. If its mostly parallel to the wrap. then snag on the monitor edge unless the slope changes to perpendicular.

Interesting idea! I have added this to our feature request list, and we'll definitely let you know if/when we're able to implement it.
Thanks!
When I test here the mouse wrapping doesn't trigger when I'm resizing a window. Are you resizing the window or dragging it by its titlebar?

I'm grabbing the side of the window and resizing that way. Once I hit the wrap edge, the cursor pops around to the other side.
Possible I've got something else that's interfering? Only thing I can think of would be Stardock Groupy.
Here's a screenshot of what happens...

Ah yep, I can reproduce that issue now. I was testing with wrapping on one monitor, this seems to only happen with 2+ monitors. I've added that to our list.
Thanks!
