Re: [kde] Constant Konqueror icon

Duncan posted on Wed, 24 Aug 2011 17:39:42 +0000 as excerpted:

I just tried the Present Windows function that I think you refer to
when you mention Expose, I like it but cannot figure out how to disable
the upper-left corner hotspot. My clock is there and I do take the
mouse pointer over there to access my calendar. It is not in the
Desktop Effects settings, not in the Keyboard settings, not in
Shortcuts and Gestures settings... where else should I look?

Note to self, followup on this after work. =:^)

OK, the followup. Once I point it out, you'll very likely be saying to
yourself "Of course! *NOW* it's obvious!" =:^)

FWIW I know this works as I've disabled the hotspot here. I have two
monitors and a trackball set to 13/5 accel to cover it in a single stroke
if I want to, and thus rely on the edges and corners to stop me, so they
can't be triggering things or I get frustrated! So I use the hotkey
trigger only, no edge or corner triggers at all (save for a very small
auto-hide panel at the bottom left, containing just two menu icon
plasmoids, kickoff, and classic set to bookmarks-only).

OK, to configure hotspots, both edges and corners, kde settings,
workspace appearance and behavior, workspace behavior, screen edges.
Click on a corner or edge button in the screen representation, and set
your choice, top left button, no action, in this case. =:^)

I /told/ you you'd be saying "Screen edges! Of course! *NOW* it's
obvious!" =:^)

FWIW2, pretty much all my kwin-related hotkeys are winkey-something
combos. In this case, it's win-g, for desktop grid. WAY easier to
remember win-g for desktop/window grid, than whatever the default is, for
sure! So it's easy enough to activate, but unlike the hotcorner, /this/
trigger only activates when I want it to, not accidentally, when I'm
trying to fiddle with something in the systray, which I have configured
to an always-visible panel in the top-left corner.
