A lightweight hot corners tool for Windows. You can use "trigger corners" as in macOS to quickly launch actions when moving the pointer to a corner. For example, you can set it so that when you move the pointer to the top right corner, it switches to the next virtual desktop, or when you move it to the bottom right corner, it opens Notepad. It supports not only custom hotkeys but also custom commands.
Modify the hotcorners.ini file to customize hot corner actions. Here is a sample configuration:
[TopLeft]
type=hotkey
content=Ctrl+Alt,Ctrl+Win+Left
[TopRight]
type=hotkey
content=Ctrl+Win+Right
[BottomLeft]
type=cmd
content=D:\hotkeys.exe Win
[BottomRight]
type=cmd
content=notepad.exe
delay=1000Explanation of configuration items:
