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

Arguments

---------

-x  x axis only

-y  y axis only

-f  fork

-d  debug mode

-h  help

Required libraries

------------------

On Ubuntu 23.10, the following packages are required:

$ sudo apt install \

    libxcb-randr0-dev \

    libxcb-util0-dev \

    libxcb-xfixes0-dev \

    libxcb-xinput-dev

To install

----------

$ make

$ sudo make install

To uninstall

------------

$ sudo make uninstall

Multimonitor

------------

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!
