A practical workflow
- Move past the edge: allows cursor to cross unreachable edges between monitors without Input Monitoring permission.
- Come back to your layout: save display arrangement once and enable automatic restore to bring back saved positions on reconnect or wake.
- Find the comfortable brightness: use brightness keys or menu bar controls to adjust supported external monitor brightness, requiring Accessibility access.
