拥有双显示器配置可以很好地提高(productivity improvement)工作效率，但会带来一些在单显示器上工作时没有的烦恼。例如，当您只想关闭活动的应用程序窗口或按(application window or press)任务栏上的“显示桌面”(Show Desktop)按钮时，鼠标光标(mouse cursor)更有可能滑到第二个屏幕。你如何解决这个问题？我们有一个受Reddit讨论启发的解决方案。
问题(Problem)-鼠标(Mouse Cursor)光标滑动
为了确保人们理解我们正在谈论的问题，让我们借助一些屏幕截图来分享它：
我打开了浏览器，我想按右上角的小X 按钮来关闭它。(X button)如果我移动得太快，鼠标会漂移(mouse drifts)到我的第二台显示器的左上角，我无法关闭浏览器。
右下角的“显示桌面”按钮和("Show desktop")鼠标指针(mouse pointer)滑到第二台显示器时也会发生同样的情况。
解决方案(Solution)-在Windows中更改显示器位置(Monitor Position)
这可以从屏幕分辨率(Screen resolution)面板修复。要访问它，请右键单击桌面上的某个位置并选择(desktop and select) 屏幕分辨率(Screen resolution)。
“屏幕分辨率(Screen Resolution)”面板打开，并显示您的显示器。如果你仔细看，你会发现两台显示器都在顶部对齐。主显示器的右上角与第二台显示器的左上角相连。这就是为什么当鼠标移动到主显示器的右上角时很容易漂移到第二个屏幕的原因。
这个想法是用鼠标选择第二台显示器并将其拖动到另一个位置，这样主显示器的右上角不再靠近第二台显示器的左上角。现在，如果你看一下这个安排，你很快就会注意到我在按下主显示器右下角的“显示桌面”按钮时会遇到问题。("Show desktop")
对于我的设置，最好将第二台显示器安排在中间的某个位置，这样我的主显示器的右上角和右下角就不会与第二台显示器相连。
如果您的显示器具有相同的尺寸怎么办？
然后，事情变得更加棘手。分析您的习惯并了解您更有可能点击的内容：右上角的关闭(Close)按钮或右下角的“显示桌面”("Show desktop")按钮。然后将第二台显示器放置在不会为您经常做的事情造成任何滑动/漂移的位置。
结论和学分
我希望你发现这个技巧很有用。如果您对如何解决此问题有其他想法，请随时分享。

Dual-Monitor Annoyance: Mouse Pointer Drifting to The Other Screen
Having a dual-monitor confіguration gіves you a pretty goоd productivity improvement but introduces a few annoyances you don't have when working on a single monitor. For example, it is more likely fоr your mouse curѕor to slip to the second screen when all you want to do is close the actiνe applіcation window or press the Show Desktop button on the taskbar. How do you fix this? We've got a solution inspired by a discussion on Reddit.
The Problem - The Mouse Cursor Slipping
To make sure people understand the problem we are talking about, let's share it with the help of some screenshots:
I have my browser open and I want to press the little X button on the top-right, to close it. If i move too quickly, the mouse drifts to the top-left corner of my second monitor and I can't close the browser.
The same can happen with the "Show desktop" button on the bottom-right and the mouse pointer slipping to the second monitor.
The Solution - Change the Monitor Position, in Windows
This can be fixed from the Screen resolution panel. To access it, right click somewhere on your desktop and select Screen resolution.
The Screen Resolution panel is opened and your monitors are shown. If you look carefully, you can see that both monitors are aligned at the top. The top-right corner of the main monitor continues with the top-left corner of the second monitor. That's why it is so easy for the mouse to drift to the second screen when going to the top-right corner of the main monitor.
The idea is to select with the mouse the second monitor and drag it to another position, so that the top-right corner of the main monitor is no longer placed near the top-left corner of the second monitor. Now, if you look at this arrangement, you quickly notice that I will have issues pressing the "Show desktop" button on the bottom-right corner of the main monitor.
For my setup it is best to arrange the second monitor somewhere in the middle, so that the top-right and bottom-right corners of my main monitor are not connected with the second monitor.
What if your monitors have the same size?
Then, things get trickier. Analyze your habits and learn what you are more likely to click: the Close button on the top right or the "Show desktop" button on the bottom right. Then arrange the second monitor in a position that doesn't create any slipping/drifting for the thing that you do more often.
