CornerClick
Here's a great productivity utility that I didn't think I'd like, but after installing it and using it for a day, I'm strongly considering leaving it on my system. CornerClick allows you to configure any or all of the four corners of your screen into clickable areas to execute a series of different types of actions. CornerClick can launch an Applescript, hide an application(s), open a URL, or activate different Exposé settings. Right now I'm using it primarly as a way to hide applications with my mouse rather than a hot-key combo, but can see myself starting to use it to launch various Applescripts.CornerClick installs as a System Preference pane. It's still in development and I've had it crash System Preferences.app a few times, but am willing to give keep it around and watch it mature. Very interesting application. Check it out.

Sounds like a great idea, am sure Apple will take it as their own in the next release of OS X. Hehehe. Does CornerClick support dual monitor setups?

November 30 2005 at 9:13 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyI use QuickSilver as my keyboard text launcher (and love it), but I have CornerClick too (on a dual screen setup, so I only use outside corners), so I can very quickly launch my Applications, Downloads, and Documents Folders (differentiating with control keys) on the lower left, Expose on top right, and SnapNDrag on lower right. I've never had it crash Jaguar, Panther, or Tiger's System Preferences, either. Snapping and Dragging, for example is cursor-based anyway, so why not start with a mouse sweep into a corner?
