Dear Joe,
Great program. I have PAID for programs that do not simply work. Your does.
Joe, is it possible to add a Left-Click after the mouse is moved to the selected monitor, so that one may immediately start working on the new monitor to which the mouse has been moved to? The Left-click appears to give "focus" to the selected monitor.

Hi Member (would be nice to have a first name so that I may address you more appropriately),
First, thanks for the compliment...really appreciate hearing it! I'm very glad to know that the program works for you. Just curious...what version of Windows and what monitor configuration?
Your idea is interesting, although it should not be done by performing a left-click, because that could do something unintended (and bad), depending on where the mouse landed. For example, it could be a malicious link in an email that's on the screen, a Delete button, etc. So, I think that a manual left-click (where you can see a benign place on the screen) is the better/safer way to go. That said, it may be possible to give focus to that monitor, but since there may not be a window on it (other than Program Manager - explorer.exe), I don't know how to do that off the top of my head. I'll research it and will post back here, but probably not until the weekend. Regards, Joe

Joe, I am Uday. I am a novice at being a novice programmer, as I am a CPA.
My setup is Ryzen 3950X CPU with a video card with five (5) ports - so five (5) monitors.
I use Stardock's Fences so the center of each of the screens has its own Fence - which has nothing in it.
The monitors are used thusly (I explain, as it should explain why I am not concerned about clicking on the center of any monitor.) Primary- e-mail, tax preparation programs, and basically I use one window at a time, the rest are minimized. Need to keep it clean. The 2nd monitor has my address book. An Always open notepad, actually I use EditPad - for speed. Lotus organizer from the 90's still works on Win 10. Monitor 3 - Reminder and To-Do-List program called Swift to-Do-List.
Monitor # 4 to use my Time and Billing Program called Timeslips (circa 1986 - in a DOS window opened in a WIN-7 VPC.) I use it with a "battleship" keyboard which has keys that can be programmed on the fly. COULD NOT use the Win version of Timeslips, as the muscle memory is so much faster than any mouse.Monitor 5 to run Microsoft's OLD Instant Message program - run from my own internal servers so my, and my staff's chat messages never go outside my office. Runs on a VPC running XP! I am a huge user of programmable keyboards. As soon as I have a moment I will program five (5) keys to your program's commands of Alt-Ctrl- Monitor #. Then switching to each monitor is as easy as hitting a single key.
I do this, as I just don't have time to think!
I really appreciate your generosity and kindness and your willingness to help.
