Multiple Cursors (Better GUIs)

Would it be possible to have multiple cursors? This would help make advanced GUIs look nicer and also allow multiple computers to render their screen on a monitor (dual screen share anyone?) without awkward blinking cursor positions.

Essentially you'd make the window API a part of CC (or allow displays to have multiple cursors, which would ultimately be more confusing)
The window currently "in focus" would be the one to receive key inputs.

I t doesn't quite work like this. When a computer modifies a monitor, he just calls the peripheral. When aother uses it then, he'll go on from where the other one left.

How would multiple cursors make guis look better? And you could just put two monitors next to each other (with a gap) to make a split screen…

Multiple cursors would be confusing to.
