Bleh.\n\nI searched around for existing solutions, and wasn't happy with anything I could find.\n\nThe options seem to be\n\n * Some ridiculous AutoHotKey monstrosity (?!?).\n * Massive Delphi application with 100MB of resources.\n * Some naive program that polls GetCursorPos() in a busy loop.\n\nNone of these are what I want, I just want that GNOME 3 thing with absolute minimal overhead.\n\nThis is a **very** minimal hotcorner app, written in C. You can adjust parameters, delays, bindings easily and recompile.\n\nZero state is stored anywhere, no registry keys or configuration files.\n\n- If you want to configure something, edit the code and recompile.\n- If you want to uninstall it, just delete it.\n\n## Instructions\n\nChange any of the parameters, compile, then install.\n\nA binary is available [here](https://github.com/taviso/hotcorner/releases) if you prefer.\n\n### Building\n\n` \u003e nmake`\n\n### Installing\n\n`\u003e copy hotcorner.exe \"%USERPROFILE%\\Start Menu\\Programs\\Startup\"`\n\n(or `nmake install`)\n\n### Uninstalling\n\n `\u003e del \"%USERPROFILE%\\Start Menu\\Programs\\Startup\\hotcorner.exe\"`\n\n(or `nmake uninstall`)\n\nIf you don't have cl or nmake, they come with Visual Studio (or the Windows SDK, I think).\n\nAdditionally, it is possible to build hotcorner on Linux using MinGW.\n\n `$ x86_64-w64-mingw32-windres version.rc -O coff -o version.res`\n `$ x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc -O2 hotcorner.c version.res -o hotcorner.exe -Wl,-subsystem,windows`\n\n\n### Configuration\n\nAll configuration requires modifying the parameters in `hotcorner.c` and recompiling.\n\n* `RECT kHotcorner` - The coordinates of the hot zone.\n* `INPUT kCornerInput[]` - Input sent on activation.\n* `DWORD kHotKeyModifiers` - Modifier Keys (shift, alt, ctrl, etc) you want to enable the hotkey function.\n* `DWORD kHotDelay` - How long the pointer must wait in the corner before being activated.\n\n## License\n\nGPL3\n\n## Authors\n\n* Tavis Ormandy [@taviso](https://github.com/taviso/) - Original Author\n* Ahmed Samy [@asamy](https://github.com/asamy) - HotKey support\n\n## Variations\n\nI've made a deliberate decision to keep hotcorner as simple as possible, here are some variations that\nother users have made that suit their needs better.\n\n* [Trigger the start menu with mouse in the lower left corner](https://github.com/misterchaos/hotcorner/), by @misterchaos \n* [Multi-monitor support](https://github.com/Ortega-Dan/hotcorner/), by @Ortega-Dan and @mrowqa\n* [Custom hotkeys and command support](https://github.com/xeahsoon/hotcorners), by @xeahsoon\n\n## FAQ\n\n* Q: I don't want to compile it, can't you just give me an exe? :(\n* A: Checkout the releases, [here](https://github.com/taviso/hotcorner/releases).\n\n\n* Q: Can you change a setting, and then compile it for me?\n* A: No.\n\n\n* Q: This doesn't work with my Application/Configuration/Whatever!\n* A: File an issue, if it's feasible to workaround I'll try.\n\n\n* Q: How do I turn it off without rebooting?\n* A: You can use CTRL+ALT+C to completely shut down the application.\n\n* Q: Why doesn't it work if my current program is running as an Administrator?\n* A: [UIPI](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Interface_Privilege_Isolation). I suppose you could \"Run As Administrator\" if it bothers you.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ftaviso%2Fhotcorner","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Ftaviso%2Fhotcorner","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ftaviso%2Fhotcorner/lists"}
