Enter Center Cursor on Screen, a lightweight utility developed by TruckleSoft to simplify this task.​

What Is ‘Center Cursor on Screen’?

Designed with the Audio-Visual Team in mind, this tool addresses the common issue of losing track of the mouse cursor across various screens. Whether you’re managing presentations, operating video feeds, or handling other AV responsibilities, this utility ensures your cursor is always within reach.

Key Features

  • Instant Cursor Centering: With global hotkeys (CTRL + ALT + 1, 2, 3, or 4), you can instantly center the mouse on a specific monitor. This is particularly useful in setups with multiple displays of varying sizes and resolutions.​
  • System Tray Integration: The application runs silently in the system tray, allowing quick access without cluttering your taskbar. Right-clicking the tray icon provides options to view the ‘About’ window, manage startup settings, or exit the application.

The latest version, 1.2.0, introduces a helpful popup notification if any hotkeys are already registered by other applications, ensuring smooth operation without conflicts. Previous updates have included a refreshed application icon, improved installer behaviour, and enhanced hotkey functionality.
