i was thinking about adding to my current setup by getting a second monitor,
this monitor is not going to be used for gaming its going to be used to have a secondary application running in the back ground, say Skype? or Google chrome on YouTube?
but my worry is that every time i'm in a game and want the cursor to go to the other screen i have to tab out to then change screen, is there a way to set it up so you can press a button to swap screens in which the cursor lies? so i can be playing a game but when i want to send a message to someone on skype i can press a button rather than tabbing out?
 
You can play in windowed and it won't minimize (some games have a custom fullscreen which is really windowed but borderless which also works). Alt tabbing isn't necessary as games should have a button to show the cursor and it'll move between monitors but with the game in fullscreen it will minimize when focused on another software. Some software will have hotkeys so you can control them without changing focus.
