Somewhere on the web I read that a person had added hotcorners to their dwm setup (like in Gnome 3). I would like to do that, but I have lost the link.
Basically, I would like a minimal app that allows me to execute a command upon hitting a corner or the top/bottom of the screen to hide/show stuff. I've searched and searched, but I just keep bumping into Gnome/Kde... results.
Any ideas?

I added a volume control and hot corners for dmenu and monocle mode; works great! Amazing the work you can get done with the mouse!oswaldkelso wrote:fittstool https://github.com/jeanCarloMachado/fittstool

Re: An app for adding hot corners?
Glad it worked for you. I think it's worth it just for volume control alone. Having a fittstool setup is ace if you like to try many WM's. It gives all your already learnt actions a common base in the unfamiliar setups.I added a volume control and hot corners for dmenu and monocle mode; works great! Amazing the work you can get done with the mouse!
Mouse and touchpad. I'll be adding touchpad support with better synaptic actions. I'm thinking scroll in particular as I've been lazy and not bothered to tweak it in my setup because 95% of the time I'm at my desktop.
I have multiple ways of launching the same action and tend to have less used actions on scroll. I notice it more on my netbooks with out keyboard mouse buttons. The touchpads are very small so I'll probably just test it with a minimal setup to avoid false actions and leave other setting for when I have a libre tablet. I don't think I'll have long to wait

You are right, the resource usage is extremely small for that app! Dmenu (/w mouse patch!) + fittstool might be a good combo for anyone wanting an easy way to select apps.
What window manager are you using? I'm curious now.
