Switch cursor between multiple displays with hotkey
Can I set a hotkey to switch between multiple monitors? I have single display set up and no mirroring. So the mission control shortcuts don't work for me.

I found this solution a couple years ago - it requires BetterTouchTool which I couldn't live without on my MacBook. In fact, thanks to BTT I wound up buying a trackpad for my desktop too.

hey dwb, I found that solution
https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/268697/how-to-quickly-move-mouse-cursor-between-monitors
and resolved the immediate issue.
But I was hoping in 2.5 years Apple has come up with a better solution.
Unfortunately not! I chatted with Apple support today and they literally asked me to use third party solutions.
This must be a common issue. I am surprised they are not adding a new feature.
I have a large display on my desktop and I keep lots of windows open. So I have bindings for the corners and middle top bottom right and left with the FN key modifier to snap windows to the corners, sides, top and bottom of the display. I also use it to switch desktops.
Check out the community - there’s a button in the bottom left corner. Lots of people have posted entire presets. Lots of ideas there.
hey dwb,
just curious. What are some other key binding you use with BetterTouchTool? Have you listed them anywhere?
I'm new to Mac and it will be extremely useful if I can go through the things we can do!
I’m not surprised at all, if Apple intended to do so its had more than 20 years. Multiple displays have been common for at least that long. My first multiple display Mac was an SE/30 back in 83 or 84. I’ve always had to resort to a 3 rd party app for this.
