I'm probably alone is this... but I have a 20"-30"-20" PLP Mac setup with a 22" PC on the right. The 30" is hooked up to a Mac/PC KVM so I can switch my main display to PC when I need it.

Config 1 (work mode): [Mac][Mac][Mac][PC]
Config 2 (play mode): [Mac][PC][Mac]

Currently in config 1 everything is fine and works as expected, but in config 2 the order of mouse movement from left to right is wrong: [1][3][2].

It would be supercool to manage monitors as individual displays instead of all monitors as one. Functionality to manage multiple display setup profiles would be needed, I guess.

Surely there's more important issues to be solved before edge cases from multi monitor nutcases like me get priority, but hey... Who knows?!

Thanks for forking and continuing where others crippled.

Currently I use this program with a 3 monitor set up for both mac and pc, two of those monitors are shared( [PC][MAC/PC][MAC/PC] ). In order to shift between Mac and PC on the shared monitors I change their input. However this results in some weird unintuitive layouts. I move the mouse up to access PC and down for Mac. It ends up looking like this:

[ PC ] [ PC ] [PC]
[Mac] [Mac]

Only one os can be seen at a time on the screens that are shared. It would be nice to be able to have all screens (5 total) so I can create a config that leaves out the screens I'm not using while coding on mac.
