How to Switch Seamless Screen with Button Press

from Stardock Forums

Hi,

Is there a way to switch to a different seamless screen with the press of a button, rather than scrolling the mouse over to it? I would like to program a button on my mouse so it switches to a different screen, presses a button, then switches back to my main screen, ideally in less than a second. Is something like this possible? 

Thanks

Hi Sean, thank you for your reply.

I currently have the KVM version. I don't use KVM mode, just seamless mode, because the game I'm playing is way too choppy in KVM mode. This is fine, seamless works great. The issue I have is that I need to scroll my mouse all the way across the screen to the other, just to press 1 button. What I'm wondering is if there is a way to switch focus to the other screen, without moving my mouse there, with the press of a button. That way I can write a script that will 1) focus on a different screen 2) press a button on that screen 3) return focus to the main screen. All without needing to move my mouse. 

Is this possible with Multiplicity?

Thanks
