EdgeCase For Mac

Peter Kamb’s EdgeCase application has been designed from the beginning to provide you with a simple way to prevent your mouse pointer from accidentally traveling from the current screen to another monitor connected to your Mac.

As an added bonus, once you activate EdgeCase on your Mac, you will be able to activate user interface items like menus, scroll-bars and hot corners without jumping to another monitor while doing it.

If you want to move the pointer to another screen you can choose to do so in three different ways. First of all, you can first bounce it from the screen edge and on the second pass go through to the adjacent display.

Next, you can choose to hold either the CMD or the CTRL key on your Mac’s keyboard to move to the neighboring screen in one quick swoop.

The third option allows you to move the pointer onto the edge of the display and, after waiting for half a second, you can effortlessly go on further onto the adjoining screen. Each of these can be enabled from EdgeCase’s status bar menu with a simple mouse click.

If you want to completely disable it and still have you options preserved until the next time you need it, you will not have to quit it because you can effortlessly turn it off either from its status bar menu or by using the dedicated global hot-key (^⌘E).

To summarize, after installing EdgeCase on your Mac, it acts as a virtual barrier between your displays so that you will no longer have to worry about skipping from one screen to another if you’re using a multi-monitor setup.
