Hi! I've got dual monitor. I watch/stream movies or study on first monitor and play Starcraft on the 2nd monitor. But I want to be able to move my cursor mouse to another monitor time to time while I play Starcraft.
What is the possible solution? Thanks in advanced!

Right, but that's how I interpret "move my cursor mouse to another monitor time to time while I play Starcraft" if talt-tabbing isn't an option, which is the vibe I got from "alt tab is annoying".

Well windowed fullscreen does not enable cursor going outside of game client at least for me at win7. Is it right?

Hit the Windows key and then move the cursor out of the game window.

In addition, there is an option in SC2 where you can disable restriction of the cursor to the game window, but personally I find that annoying as you accidentally scroll out from time to time. So I use the Windows key method.

Huh i got win key disabled in case of accidental press, but you are right, windows key is the most convenient option here.

Are you going to study and play starcraft together?
At medical school that was impossible. I hope you prioritize your time to separate the two activities.
I would study first then play starcraft when I knew I was ahead with my material for the next week.
Just a tip from a medical student.

How is alt tab inconvenient. You can even set it up so one alt tab goes to the primary secondary program and the next one goes back to sc2, if you don't switch into another program in between.
