For those who want to script their toggling, use the terminal:
xrandr --output HDMI-1 --auto --right-of eDP-1
This instantly re-aligns how your mouse toggles between the laptop screen (eDP-1) and the external monitor (HDMI-1).
If you have three monitors and want to jump from Screen 1 to Screen 3 (skipping the middle), you cannot do it natively. You need a tool like DisplayFusion (see section 6).
The phrase "toggle between screens top" often refers to a usability nightmare: The disappearing header.
Scenario: You scroll down a long list (e.g., your email inbox). To switch to "Sent" emails, you must scroll all the way back up to reach the top toggle.
The Solution: The Sticky Toggle The top navigation must be "sticky" (fixed). As the user scrolls down, the top toggle bar should pin itself to the very top edge of the browser or screen. This allows users to switch screens instantly without losing their place by scrolling up.
Pro tip: In Swift (iOS), use UISegmentedControl with a sticky UINavigationBar. In CSS, use position: sticky; top: 0;.
You’ve tried the shortcuts, but the cursor won’t jump. Here is the fix.
Issue 1: The screens are mirrored.
Issue 2: "Win + Shift + Arrow" moves the window but not the cursor.
Issue 3: The screen order is wrong.
Issue 4: Full-screen games.
