注意：(NOTE:)本指南涵盖 macOS Catalina或更新版本。我们指南中共享的功能可能不适用于旧版本的 macOS。要检查您的版本，请阅读我有什么版本的 macOS？
首先要做的事(First thing)：在Mac上(Mac)访问 Hot Corners(Access Hot Corners)
有两种方法可以访问Mac Hot Corners设置，但首先，您需要打开System Preferences。单击屏幕左上角的Apple 标志以访问(Apple logo)Apple 菜单，然后按(Apple menu and press)System Preferences(System Preferences)。
在System Preferences应用程序中，访问Hot Corners的最简单方法是单击Mission Control。
单击任务控制(Mission Control)窗格底部的Hot Corners按钮。(Hot Corners)
您也可以从系统偏好设置(System Preferences)中单击“桌面和屏幕保护程序”("Desktop & Screen Saver")。
在“桌面和屏幕保护程序”("Desktop & Screen Saver")窗格中，访问“屏幕保护程序(Screen Saver)”选项卡。Hot Corners按钮位于屏幕底部，因此您可以单击它来打开此功能的设置。
当您按下Hot Corners按钮时，您可以访问Hot Corners设置。继续阅读以了解如何配置它们。
如何在Mac上配置(Mac)Hot Corners
默认情况下，Mac Hot Corners处于非活动状态。虽然这意味着它们很容易被忽视，但意外触发它们的替代方案会使用户感到困惑。按下Hot Corners按钮后，如上一节所示，将弹出Active Screen Corners面板。(Active Screen Corners)
正如您可以从面板中轻松推断的那样，每个字段对应于四个屏幕角之一。(screen corner)如果连字符显示在屏幕角(screen corner)旁边，则它当前未激活。单击任何(Click)屏幕角落(screen corner)旁边的箭头按钮以打开可用操作列表。
Hot Corners动作列表对于每个屏幕角落(screen corner)都是相同的。让我们看看他们每个人都做了什么：
- Mission Control - 如果您使用大量应用程序和窗口，则很有帮助，它提供(apps and windows)Mac上当前打开的项目的概览，让您在它们之间切换。
- 应用程序窗口(Application Windows)- 提供当前应用程序的所有打开窗口的概览，并且对于某些应用程序，它还显示最近访问的文件。您还可以在打开的文件之间切换并从此视图访问新文件。
- 桌面(Desktop)- 将所有打开的窗口移到两侧，显示您的桌面。如果您使用桌面存储文件和文件夹，它可以帮助您更快地访问和移动它们。
- 通知中心(Notification Centre)- 在我们看来，所有这些操作中最没用的是通知中心(Notification Centre)，它的右上角已经有专用按钮。
- Launchpad - 打开Launchpad ，您可以在其中查找、访问和整理(Launchpad)Mac上的应用程序。
- 启动屏幕保护程序(Start Screen Saver)- 立即启动屏幕保护程序(Screen Saver)，隐藏屏幕内容，直到您将鼠标移离角落。
- 禁用屏幕保护程序(Disable Screen Saver)-当鼠标位于热角时禁用屏幕保护(Hot corner)程序(Screen Saver)。
- 将显示器置于睡眠(Put Display to Sleep)状态 - 立即关闭显示器，从而减少功耗。
- 锁定屏幕(Lock Screen)- 立即锁定您的屏幕，隐藏其内容。虽然这在处理敏感信息时会派上用场，但每次发生时都插入密码会很烦人。
要将其中一项操作分配给屏幕角(screen corner)，请打开该角的下拉菜单并单击(corner and click)该操作。选择连字符选项(hyphen option)会停用Hot Corners。
由于 Mac Hot Corners可能会被意外触发，因此 macOS 还允许您使用键与屏幕角(screen corner)组合来执行特定操作。您可以为此使用的修饰键是Shift、Control、Option和Command。单击(Click)箭头以打开屏幕角(screen corner)的操作列表，按住键盘上的修改键，然后单击以选择操作。所选键(chosen key)的符号显示在可用操作旁边。
提示：(TIP:)您可以将相同的动作分配给多个角。如果方便的话，您还可以将修饰键与屏幕角(screen corner)结合使用。
如何在 Mac 上使用热角
配置它们后，Mac Hot Corners很容易使用。只需(Just)将鼠标光标移动(mouse cursor)到屏幕角落，或在将鼠标(screen corner)光标(mouse cursor)移动到角落时按下修饰键，macOS 就会执行指定的操作。这是我们的Hot Corners的配置方式：
我们在屏幕上角使用了修改键，因为这些很容易被意外触发。在我们的设置中，无需修改键即可访问桌面(Desktop)和任务控制(Mission Control)操作，因为我们经常使用它们并且需要轻松访问它们。
您是如何配置热(Hot) 角(Corners)的？
实际上，我们偶然发现了Hot Corners(Hot Corners)的 macOS 设置，并决定调查一下结果证明是一个非常有用的功能。你呢？您是如何得知Mac Hot Corners的？你(Did)的设置了吗？你选择了哪些动作？使用下面的评论让我们知道。
How to use Hot Corners on a Mac: All you need to know
While not popυlar, Hot Corners are, in our opinion, one of the greatest features of macOS. With Hot Corners, you can assign a different action to each of the four corners of your Mac's display screen. You can then move your cursor to these special areas, and your Mac performs the designated action. This tutorial illustrates all you need to know about the Mac Hot Corners and how to use them:
NOTE: This guide covers macOS Catalina or newer. The features shared in our guide may not work on older versions of macOS. To check your version, read What version of macOS do I have?
First thing first: Access Hot Corners on your Mac
There are two ways to access the Mac Hot Corners setting, but first, you need to open System Preferences. Click the Apple logo in the upper-left corner of your screen to access the Apple menu and press on System Preferences.
In the System Preferences app, the easiest way to access Hot Corners is to click on Mission Control.
Click on the Hot Corners button at the bottom of the Mission Control pane.
You can also click on "Desktop & Screen Saver" from System Preferences.
On the "Desktop & Screen Saver" pane, access the Screen Saver tab. The Hot Corners button is at the bottom of the screen, so you can click on it to open the settings for this feature.
When you press the Hot Corners button, you get access to the Hot Corners settings. Keep reading to see how to configure them.
How to configure Hot Corners on a Mac
By default, the Mac Hot Corners are inactive. While this means they can easily be overlooked, the alternative of accidentally triggering them would confuse users. After pressing the Hot Corners button, as shown in the previous section, the Active Screen Corners panel pops up.
Each field corresponds to one of the four screen corners, as you can easily deduce from the panel. If the hyphen is shown next to a screen corner, it is not currently active. Click on the arrows button next to any screen corner to open a list of available actions.
The Hot Corners list of actions is the same for every screen corner. Let's see what each of them does:
- Mission Control - instrumental if you use a lot of apps and windows, offers an overview of the items currently open on your Mac, letting you switch between them.
- Application Windows - offers an overview of all the open windows of the current app, and, for some apps, it also shows recently accessed files. You can also switch between open files and access new ones from this view.
- Desktop - moves all the open windows to the sides, showing your desktop. If you're using your desktop to store files and folders, it helps you access them and move them around faster.
- Notification Centre - the least useful of all these actions in our opinion, brings out the Notification Centre, which already has its dedicated button in the top-right corner.
- Launchpad - opens the Launchpad, where you can find, access, and organize the apps on your Mac.
- Start Screen Saver - immediately starts the Screen Saver, hiding your screen's content, until you move the mouse away from the corner.
- Disable Screen Saver - disables the Screen Saver while the mouse is in the Hot corner.
- Put Display to Sleep - turns the display off immediately, consuming less power.
- Lock Screen - immediately locks your screen, hiding its contents. While this comes in handy when working with sensitive information, it can become annoying to insert your password every time it happens.
To assign one of the actions to a screen corner, open the dropdown menu for that corner and click on the action. Selecting the hyphen option deactivates the Hot Corners.
Because the Mac Hot Corners can be triggered accidentally, macOS also lets you use a key in combination with a screen corner to perform a specific action. The modifier keys you can use for this are Shift, Control, Option, and Command. Click on the arrows to open the list of actions for a screen corner, hold down on the modifier key on your keyboard, and then click to select the action. The symbol for the chosen key is displayed next to the available actions.
TIP: You can assign the same action to multiple corners. You can also use combinations of modifier keys together with a screen corner, if it's comfortable.
How to use Hot Corners on a Mac
After you configure them, the Mac Hot Corners are easy to use. Just move your mouse cursor to the screen corner, or press the modifier key(s) while moving your mouse cursor to the corner, and macOS performs the assigned action. This is how our Hot Corners are configured:
We used modifier keys for the upper screen corners because these are the ones easily triggered by accident. The Desktop and the Mission Control actions can be accessed without modifier keys in our setup, because we use them frequently and need to reach them with ease.
How did you configure your Hot Corners?
We actually came across the macOS settings for Hot Corners by accident and decided to investigate what turned out to be a very useful feature. What about you? How did you hear about the Mac Hot Corners? Did you set yours up? What actions did you choose? Use the comments below to let us know.
