hotcorners's Introduction

A small hot corners implementation for Windows 10/11

Provides hot corner functionality for Windows 10/11, similar to GNOME.

Configuration is currently hard-coded. The following parameters can be modified prior to compilation:

HOT_CORNER - Coordinates of the hot corner, defaults to the top-left corner
HOT_CORNER_INPUT - The input sequence to be sent on activation, defaults to Win+Tab
EXIT_HOT_KEY - Base key for exiting the program, combined with EXIT_HOT_KEY_MODIFIERS, defaults to C
EXIT_HOT_KEY_MODIFIERS - Modifier key(s) for exiting the program, combined with EXIT_HOT_KEY, defaults to Alt+Ctrl

Inspired by and adapted from https://github.com/taviso/hotcorner

hotcorners's Issues

Release build doesn't seem to work

This is a nice tool, but the release build doesn't seem to work for some reason.

I did both cargo build and cargo build --release. When I ran the release executable with start target/release/hotcorners.exe nothing happens when I move my mouse to the top left corner. However, when I run the debug build with start target/debug/hotcorners.exe it works as expected.

Support activation on non-primary monitors

Consider PowerToys integration?

Hey Tim, I'm really fond your work on this project, especially building on top taviso's implementation.

This isn't an issue as much as a question; have you considered integrating with open-source PowerToys as there's a long-standing request for this exact feature? They've partnered with several devs in the past, such as Den Delimarsky's Awake feature and this could be another great fit.

Thanks for your time and effort.

Support command-line arguments

Reduce usage of `unsafe`/wrap `windows` functions

Support reading config from file

Support multiple hot corners

Prevent working in full-screen apps/games?

taviso/hotcorner#27

This tool also works from within full-screened games (Dota 2 DX11, Xonotic, Titan Quest AE DX9).

I don't know if I realistically throw my cursor to the top-left in shooters or games, but the idea of it happening during an intense-firefight on UT99 doesn't sound good :p
