Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/187

If find it way more convenient to use hotkeys rather than mouse-position-based-context switching barrier does by default. Currently there's no other option to acheive such behavior other than assigning lockCursorToScreen(toggle) to a hotkey and pressing it every time barrier starts. An option to lock cursor by default (under advanced server settings?) would be great.

In addition to that, I think that it would be nice to add an option to / make another variant of switchInDirection(direction) action that'd allow to loop over the screens rather than stop at the direction-most screen.
I believe that the majority of the users have only two screens, where such option could be best used.

I would love this enhancement as well. I run into an issue with my steam link where my mouse goes to the edge of the screen and then locks which requires me to be at my computer to pull the mouse back manually. Some times I'm not home and I can't exit steam link because I have no control of the mouse to exit out.

Can it really be that this feature still hasn't been implimentet or am I missing something?
I've looked through all of the settings and I can't find this.
