What's the value in having this option compared to disabling the mod?

It'd be more convenient to maintain if you could keep the snippet below identical to the code in the wiki page:

Thanks.

Use the standard message loop implementation:
Suggested change
| while (GetMessageW(&msg, nullptr, 0, 0) > 0) { | |
| } | |
| while (GetMessageW(&msg, nullptr, 0, 0) > 0) { | |
| TranslateMessage(&msg); | |
| DispatchMessageW(&msg); | |
| } |

Since you're preventing the move event, is it necessary to also set the cursor pos? If not, you can probably also remove forcedPoint and ignoreForcedPoint.

Summary:
This mod prevents the mouse cursor from moving to another monitor unless Ctrl is held while moving the mouse.
Tested:
Known limitation
When the Windhawk app window is focused, the cursor restriction does not work. But it works the rest of the time
