Screen arrangement

Match Continuo's layout to your desk so cursor edges cross where you expect.

Continuo does not mirror your Mac’s built-in Displays preference. It keeps its own layout of which machine sits where. Drag Mac clusters in the editor until they match your real desk.

Each plate is a display, labelled with its Mac. MacBook Air sits flush against the right edge of This Mac, so that is where the pointer crosses.

Open the editor

Settings → Macs opens the arrangement canvas at the top of the tab. You can also choose Arrange displays… from the menu bar panel.

You will see This Mac plus each online paired peer as a draggable cluster. Each cluster includes every display attached to that Mac. Offline peers may appear dimmed if their position was saved while they were last online.

Drag to match your desk

Drag another Mac until it sits flush against This Mac: left, right, above, or below, however the machines actually sit.

When you push the cursor off the shared edge, control crosses to the Mac on that side. Edges you can cross stay unmarked; the editor draws an edge in red where the pointer cannot cross. Moving between one Mac’s own displays stays local.

If the layout does not match reality, the cursor will land on the wrong machine.

Edge crossing settings

Under Settings → Control & Edges you can tune how edges feel. Edge sensitivity is Light, Medium, or Firm: how long the pointer must sit at the edge before crossing. Light crosses with no dwell. Push-through friction means a deliberate push crosses but an accidental brush does not. Easy edge crossing (on by default) uses the whole edge when it leads to another Mac, and the pointer enters at the nearest shared point. Edge peek makes the far Mac’s edge glow as your pointer approaches.

Left, right, top and bottom edges all cross, wherever another Mac sits flush.

Return without rearranging

You do not need to drag back across the layout to return control to the Mac you are sitting at. Push back across the shared edge, or use the Return hotkey (default Globe/fn + \). See Keyboard shortcuts.
