I thought this was a neat idea for a function, so I implemented it.
SetEnv SWAP_SCREENS_STATE 3
DestroyFunc SwapScreens
AddToFunc SwapScreens
+ I SetEnv old_pointer_x $[pointer.x]
+ I SetEnv old_pointer_y $[pointer.y]
+ I All State $[SWAP_SCREENS_STATE] off
+ I WindowId root $[LEFT_SCREEN] WarpToWindow 50 50
+ I All (CurrentPage) State $[SWAP_SCREENS_STATE] on
+ I All (State $[SWAP_SCREENS_STATE]) MoveToScreen $[RIGHT_SCREEN]
+ I All (CurrentPage, AnyScreen, !State $[SWAP_SCREENS_STATE]) \
MoveToScreen $[LEFT_SCREEN]
+ I WindowId root WarpToWindow $[old_pointer_x]p $[old_pointer_y]p
+ I UnSetEnv old_pointer_x
+ I UnSetEnv old_pointer_y
Key Up A 4C SwapScreens
