Description of the new feature / enhancement

It would be nice to have the option to make the mouse cursor move to a window selected through Window Walker.

Scenario when this would be used?

I have a significant amount of screen real estate. Besides bringing windows to the foreground, it would be really useful for me to also move the mouse cursor to a chosen window through powertoys so I don't need to manually move the pointer to the window I just selected.

It would probably make sense for this to be a setting, not default behaviour, since I can't speak for other people's use of the plugin. But in my case, whenever I use powertoys run to open a window, I do so because i want to interact with it. having to manually move the pointer feels like a pointless (haha) extra step
