Mouse warping or cursor warping is the positioning of the cursor by the system rather than by the user's manipulation.^[1] For example, some window managers – such as afterstep, awesome, and wmii – automatically position the pointer to the centre of the current application window when that application is made current.^{[clarification needed]}

Warping can also refer to shifting the mouse between monitors.^[2]
