Keyboard Focus Doesn't Follow Pointer Across Multi-Monitor Mac Setups

surfaced semanticallyCursor Doesn't Follow Eye Gaze Across Dual Monitor Setup on Mac
Mac users with dual monitors report the cursor staying on the non-focused screen when their eyes shift to the other display, causing misclicks and interruptions. Users intuitively expect the cursor to follow their gaze or attention, but macOS provides no such mechanism. This creates friction particularly for users who frequently switch attention between screens.
