Hot Corners是 macOS 中的一项原生功能,Mac用户可以使用它来启动屏幕保护程序、查看桌面、打开Launchpad等,只需将鼠标光标放在桌面/笔记本电脑屏幕的四个角中的任何一个。此功能非常有用,但Windows 10操作系统本身并未附带此功能。尽管如此,仍然可以在Windows 10中使用(Windows 10)Mac风格的Hot Corners。
值得庆幸的是,有一些第三方工具可以帮助我们在Windows 10中添加和使用(Windows 10)Mac Style Hot Corners。其中一个工具是我们在这篇文章中介绍的“WinXCorners”。这是一个开源的便携式工具,可让您在Windows 10中启用 Hot Corners 。
使用此WinXCorners工具,您可以将(WinXCorners)Windows 10屏幕的四个角中的任何一个设置为打开操作中心(open Action Center)、启动任务视图(Task View)模式(预览所有打开的窗口)、隐藏后台应用程序(hide background applications)并仅显示前景或活动窗口、关闭监视器(turn off monitor)、启动屏幕保护程序(launch Screen Saver),或关闭笔记本电脑屏幕(turn off laptop screen)或显示器。您只需配置此工具一次并将鼠标光标悬停在屏幕的任何角落。您设置的操作将立即触发。
我发现更有用的是您可以为Hot Corners设置自定义命令(set a custom command)。例如,您可以在将鼠标光标移动到屏幕的特定角落时启动一些浏览器、 Notepad++
在上图中,您可以看到它的配置框,我在其中为屏幕的各个角落设置了不同的操作(包括自定义命令)。
注意:(Note:)多屏幕/显示器不支持此工具。因此,您应该只在单屏设备上使用它。
在 Windows 10 中添加热点
要使用此工具在Windows 10(Windows 10)中使用 Hot Corners ,请下载其 zip 文件并解压缩。
解压该 zip 文件后,打开解压 zip 文件的文件夹,然后执行WinXCorners.exe文件。
现在该工具将开始在Windows 10的系统托盘中运行。单击(Click)该系统托盘图标,该工具的Hot Corners 框(Hot Corners box)将打开,如下图所示。
屏幕的每个角落(左上角、右上角、左下角和右下角)都有四个下拉菜单。(four drop-down menus)使用下拉菜单,您可以为该角分配任何支持的操作。例如,您可以将操作中心(Action Center)用于左上角。只需(Just)选择您选择的操作。这样,为所有角落设置动作,就完成了。每当您将鼠标光标放在任何角落时,都会快速触发相关操作。
现在,这个工具有时可能会造成麻烦。例如,您可能忘记了该工具正在运行并且您不小心将鼠标光标移动到任何角落,并且触发了该操作。要克服这样的问题,您可以随时使用其Hot Corners框并turn on/off 启用 Hot Corners 的(Hot Corners enabled)按钮。
除了上述配置外,您还可以访问其高级选项(Advanced Options)来设置每个角落触发动作的时间延迟。此外,为 Hot Corners设置自定义命令(custom command)也很有帮助。
为此,右键单击WinXCorners工具的系统托盘图标,然后选择高级(Advanced)选项。
在“高级选项(Advanced Options)”框中,您可以使用给定选项分别为所有角设置时间延迟(set time delay)(以毫秒为单位)。在同一个框中,有一个自定义命令(启动器)(Custom Command (Launcher))字段。在这里,您可以粘贴一些程序或应用程序的路径,然后勾选启用自定义命令(Enable Custom Command)选项。这将帮助您在Hot Corners(Hot Corners)框的下拉菜单中显示自定义命令选项,以便您只需将鼠标光标放在相关的角落即可启动该特定应用程序。
按OK保存更改。
就这样。您可以在此处下载此工具(download this tool here)。使用这个工具对我来说是一次有趣的经历!
供您参考,Tiny Hot Corners是另一个工具,可让您将类似 GNOME 的Hot Corners添加到Windows 10。
希望这对您和许多其他想要在其 Windows 10 PC中添加和使用 Mac 风格的Hot Corners的用户有用。(Corners)
WinXCorners adds Mac-style Hot Corners to Windows 10
Hot Cornеrs is a natіve feature in macOS using whіch Mac users can start screen saver, view desktop, open Launchpad, etc., by placing the mouse curѕor to anу of the four corners of desktop/laptop scrеen. This feature iѕ prettу useful, but Windows 10 oрerating sуstem doesn’t come with this feature natively. Still, іt is possible to use Mac-stylе Hоt Cоrners in Windows 10.
Thankfully, there exist a few third-party tools that can help us add and use Mac Style Hot Corners in Windows 10. One of those tools is ‘WinXCorners’ which we have covered in this post. This is an open-source and portable tool that lets you enable Hot Corners in Windows 10.
Using this WinXCorners tool, you can set any of the four corners of the Windows 10 screen to open Action Center, launch Task View mode (to preview all opened windows), hide background applications and show only foreground or active window, turn off monitor, launch Screen Saver, or turn off laptop screen or the monitor. You just have to configure this tool once and hover the mouse cursor to any of the corners of the screen. The action set by you will be triggered immediately.
What I find more useful is you can set a custom command for Hot Corners. For example, you can launch some browser, Notepad++, or some other application when moving the mouse cursor to a particular corner of the screen.
In the image above, you can see its configuration box where I have set different actions (including custom command) to all the corners of the screen.
Note: This tool is not supported for multiple screens/monitors. So, you should use it on a single screen device only.
Add Hot Corners in Windows 10
To use Hot Corners in Windows 10 using this tool, download its zip file, and extract it.
After extracting that zip, open the folder where you extracted the zip file, and execute WinXCorners.exe file.
Now the tool will start running in the system tray of Windows 10. Click that system tray icon and the Hot Corners box of this tool will open, just like you can see in the image below.
There are four drop-down menus for each corner (top left, top right, bottom left, and bottom right) of the screen. Use a drop-down menu and you can assign any of the supported actions for that corner. For example, you can use Action Center for the top left corner. Just select an action of your choice. This way, set actions for all corners, and you’re done. Whenever you will place the mouse cursor to any of the corners, the associated action is triggered quickly.
Now, this tool might create trouble sometimes. For example, you might forget the tool is running and you accidentally move the mouse cursor to any of the corners, and the action is triggered. To overcome such an issue, you can use its Hot Corners box and turn on/off Hot Corners enabled button anytime you want.
Apart from the above configuration, you can also access its Advanced Options to set the time delay for each of the corners to trigger the action. Moreover, it is also helpful to set a custom command for Hot Corners.
For that, right-click on the system tray icon of WinXCorners tool, and select Advanced option.
In the Advanced Options box, you can set time delay (in ms) for all corners separately using the given options. In the same box, there is a Custom Command (Launcher) field. Here, you can paste the path of some program or application, and then tick mark Enable Custom Command option. This will help you show the custom command option in the drop-down menus of the Hot Corners box so that you launch that particular application just by placing your mouse cursor to the associated corner.
Press OK to save the changes.
That’s all. You can download this tool here. Using this tool was an interesting experience for me!
For your information, Tiny Hot Corners is another tool thatlets you add GNOME-like Hot Corners to Windows 10.
Hope this will be useful to you and many other users who want to add and use Mac-style Hot Corners to their Windows 10 PC.
