How to return the cursor back to the Server Computer Primary Display?

from Stardock Forums

My normal setup uses 6 computers with 12 displays, I have oversized my cursor and added mouse trails but sometimes seeing my Cursor can be difficult.  I can tap CTRL once and get a locate circles flash which helps, BUT it would be nice to have a "key" that returns the cursor to the Server Computer, Primary display middle of the screen. I tried using AHK to make a triple tap of the ALT key do it, though I can make the cursor go to the middle of the screen I do not know how to make AHK tell Multiplicity  to change computers.

 

Any help with adding three ALT presses to Multiplicity that moves the cursor to a user defined location?

Any Help with getting AHK to interface with Multiplicity?

Thanks,  G

Thanks, I should have looked into Hotkeys better.

It seems to work ok, it's just odd that if I set my X=1000 and Y=1500 I get the approximate center of my secondary screen and X=1250 and Y=500 get the approximate center of my Primary Screen.  I disabled my Windows Mouse Keys shortcut and set the Multipicity shortcut to Shift-Alt-NumLock. Now I need to go into AHK and set Three-Alts to send the Shift-Alt-Numlock and maybe a quick CTRL press when I lose track of my pointer

Being a newish feature, I am now also aware that you can "jump" to clients as well. Thanks again.

Is there a way so that after a hotkey is set and is pressed to return the cursor to the primary screen, that the FOLLOWING keyboard inputs will also follow the primary screen? when I set a hotkey and press it to return the cursor to the primary screen, my following keyboard inputs are still being sent to the secondary PC until I click inside the primary screen.

I set my Control Panel>Ease of Mouse Access>Activate a window by hovering over it with a mouse. So to use my Multiplicity seamless KVM I just move the mouse to what Monitor, window and box, wait from .5 to 2 seconds, and start typing.  The window automatically gets focus. No need to click the window or the box. It can be a PITA getting windows focuses that I am just "flying over". Give it a try it maybe what you are looking for.
