Research direction
Review the existing issue comments (27 comments) for detailed requirements and potential design considerations. Examine PyAutoGUI's current mouse movement implementation in the source code (e.g., `pyautogui.py`) to understand coordinates and screen handling. Investigate cross platform APIs for multi monitor detection (e.g., Win32, X11, macOS CoreGraphics). Propose a solution that maintains back compatibility.
