You mean technically ? Form a user perspective you just press Ctrl-Alt-R or something like that (might be shift-Alt). Technically, we grab the mouse cursor and then reset it to the center of the window after each received event. > I once had to do this, and couldn't find a good way out of > clip-to-screen-rectangle pointer behavior.

Grabbing the mouse should allow to read the mouse event even when it gets outside the window. However afaik there is a hard limit at the physical screen borders.
