Cursor cannot move between outputs when using non-contiguous positioning

[Crystal4276]

Sway Version:

1.10

Debug Log:

Configuration File:

# Minimal configuration to reproduce
output DP-1 pos 0 0 mode [email protected] scale 1.5
output DP-2 pos 2630 0 mode [email protected]
output DP-3 pos 6140 0 mode [email protected] scale 1.5

Stack Trace:

Not applicable - no crash

Description:

Steps to reproduce:

1. Configure multiple outputs with intentional gaps between them using non-contiguous pos values as shown in config above
2. Move cursor to the right edge of DP-1 screen
3. Observe that cursor stops at the edge instead of transferring to DP-2
4. Move cursor to right edge of DP-2 screen
5. Observe that cursor stops at the edge instead of transferring to DP-3

Expected behavior: Cursor should transfer between outputs when reaching screen edges, even with non-contiguous positioning.

Current behavior: Cursor stops at screen edges and does not transfer between outputs when there are gaps in the positioning values.

This makes it difficult to use multi-monitor setups where users want visual separation between outputs while maintaining easy cursor navigation. Common use cases include accommodating wide monitor bezels or intentionally creating visual workspace separation.

This is the intended behavior, so flagging this as an enhancement instead.

Thanks for the feedback.

Looking at issue #6607, the proposed solution there looks slightly different to what i would like to use.
I'm specifically looking for the cursor to be able to traverse through intentional gaps between monitors - essentially "disappearing" into the gap space before emerging on the adjacent output.
It seems #6607 is recommending the cursor to warp directly to the next output.

I don't think allowing the cursor to move off-screen is a good idea. It would be too easy to "loose" the cursor.
