Which is a feature, not a bug. Sometimes you want things to behave
stupidly. One of my own favorite programs is a mouse cursor hopper --
good when you have multiple screens and multiple terminals, I hit the
hotkey and the cursor jumps to a set open terminal. And it's absolutely
stupid, it does not do any 'helpful' things like worry about what's
visible on the monitor it just jumps. Nothing to think about or worry
about. Dumb is good.
