Loop your X cursor around the edges of the screen
👉😎👉
xoop turns your desktop into a flat torus, so that when the cursor hits one side it continues and reappears out from the opposite side.
Here is a video demonstration: https://mcol.xyz/static/xoop.mp4

On Ubuntu 23.10, the following packages are required:
$ sudo apt install \ libxcb-randr0-dev \ libxcb-util0-dev \ libxcb-xfixes0-dev \ libxcb-xinput-dev
$ make $ sudo make install
$ sudo make uninstall
xoop assumes that a multiple monitor setup creates a large rectangle with 4 edges, for example if you have two monitors of the same height side-by-side. If your multi-monitor setup does not produce a large rectangle then the mouse will only teleport on the far outside edges. This is because it is not always clear where the mouse should teleport to. Contributions are welcome if you have a solution!
