Moving the cursor between monitors using a shortcut in Linux - how?

Having connected two monitors at once, I even refused several desktops - everything turned out to be so convenient. But when working with texts, code, etc. reaching for the mouse to switch to a window from another monitor, somehow uncomme il faut. With desktops it was easier in this regard: Ctrl+Alt+[Arrow] and work on. I googled several old and non-working utilities, as well as the fact that in macos this is easily prescribed in the keyboard settings, but nothing was found about the Linux solution. I'm certainly not the first to be puzzled by this, right? Push at least on the right direction of digging!

xdotool will save you : make the right script, hang it on the right combination, profit.
Although, to be honest, the problem is rather strange. I have a desktop width of 3 x 1920. With normal mouse acceleration, moving the cursor to the full width is done with one movement of the hand.
P.S. Strange... It only seems to me that the title of the question is about one thing, and the text is about another?

Maybe not about that, but why does Alt-Tab not suit you?
