Does KM support a trigger that fires whenever the mouse is on a hot corner? For example, trigger something when the mouse is on the top left or top right.
I see there is a question from 2017 but seems it is not yet implemented? Anyone has any clue?
Honestly, the usefulness of this trigger is probably overestimated. I had set this up on a trial basis and stopped using it again. It is almost impossible not to trigger these macros again and again by mistake. Unless you only trigger them when a modifier is also pressed, but then the elegance is gone.
Ah, But you can already do something similar with KM - at least I think so. A macro is triggered when the mouse is somewhere (eg. in the upper right corner) and a letter is pressed.
Hey @Frankb. I hope you are all right around there!
Well, for me, it is useful. I bought BTT just for that single feature, so in my particular case, it is handy, and I think some other people might find it helpful as well. Maybe not everyone.
I have seen that there is no cursor position trigger on macros, so it seems this cannot be simulated. I hope this is added in the future on KM
Really?! Then I'm sure you haven't fully understood what BTT can do. I don't mean that in a bad way. It's more of an encouragement for you to find out how powerful this app actually is.
Yes, that is true, I have not fully explored BTT and would do that, but coming back to the point, I think there is a valid point for KM to have hot corner triggers
AFAIK Apple don't make the "pointer in a corner" event publicly available, which is why KM can't use it as a trigger. If the folks at BTT have rolled their own detection scheme, more power to them.
You could, of course, DIY in KM as well -- a permanently running macro that checks the pointer position every second and fires off another macro when the pointer's in a corner. But that would likely be less efficient than BTT's lower-level code.
