Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/2039

What happened?

I set up a hotkey to lock my cursor on my server screen, it works. When I move to client it won't, no log message, nothing. It's like the hotkey feature only works on the server?

I thought of a workaround to this problem that is no very good but it's something, maybe it helps you temporary. You can set a hotkey to send the cursor to the client. Then you lock the cursor on the server, and then you send it to the client. The cursor remains locked on the client but you can never go back, you have to stop barrier on the server to get the cursor on the server
