initial release – complete C++ rewrite of the command-line driven lock monitor removed memory minimize (/m) switch, since the new lock app doesn’t support it made sure any shortcut arguments with spaces have quotes around them.

removed the lock code and set shortcut targets to the new lock app Optimized the polling code to reduce the CPU usage to inpercievably small amounts while the program to lock still has focus fixed a rare bug that occured when creating shortcuts to some programs with invalid filename characters in their program name added window and window interior lock regions fixed a bug with argument passing where the program executable wasn’t given as the first argument fixed a bug with creating shortcuts for user strict mode settings are now saved to config when creating a shortcut Highly optimized and efficient locking program that uses practically no memory or CPU.Integrated help system for shortcut setup program.Intuitive GUI support program for quick setup of Cursor Lock shortcuts.Alternate locking modes that run in the background for full user control and special circumstances.Customizable hotkeys allow for complete control of locking in any situation.Can confine the cursor to window borders, in addition to a whole screen.Ability to open one program and lock another allows Cursor Lock to work well with launcher programs.Uses a superior method of capturing the cursor compared to other solutions (e.g.Locking only when focused–requires no special user interaction, nor does it interfere with task switching between screens.Here’s a list of games that Cursor Lock is reported or confirmed to fix. Cursor Lock can also overcome cursor drifting problems in windowed applications and games. In video games, this can also lead to minimizing the game window if the cursor has drifted into another screen and the mouse is clicked accidentally. This is most useful in multi-monitor setups, addressing a common oversight in some applications (mostly games) whereby they allow the mouse cursor to drift into other unwanted screens. Cursor Lock is a utility program that confines the mouse cursor to a selected area on the screen.
