[Resolved] jumping cursor after starting Gmrun by hot corner

Hey guys!

I noticed that the cursor is jumping after moving to the upper left corner (and starting Gmrun). Is it a bug or an undocumented feature?

Cheeeeeeerio!

PS.: CrunchBang 11 is going to be awesome. Thanks corenominal!

It is an undocumented feature -- I figured the cursor jump/bump was needed to help prevent double firing.

Glad you are enjoying it!

Hi,

i see that this post is marked as [resolved] and probably no one will anwser me but i still
have to ask this.

What do you mean by preventing double firing? Preventing double firing what? and why
gmrun has to start automatically when reaching top left corner?

Maybe i ask dummy things but i really google it (find nothing relative to the case) and i can't
understand why is that.

p.s. Waldorf really rocks!!! (loving the icons, window shadows and chromium by default)

Check out cb-hotcorners, or Settings > Hot Corners. It is a feature! You can set something to start when moving the cursor to a corner, in this case gmrun is the default. Edit the config file to whatever you like - here's my cbhotcornersrc...

[Hot Corners]
top_left_corner_command = gmrun
top_right_corner_command = `xdotool key alt+space`
bottom_left_corner_command = 
bottom_right_corner_command =

@damo

hey thanks for the quick reply. So what happend to me was pretty dumb...
After installing waldorf i replaced the menu.xml with my own so i never saw
the hot corners. My bad to rush replacing the menu.xml. Anyway this is why
i knew nothing about hot corners. To be honest is a pretty good and clever
feature now that i think about it. U can have ur most used programs by just
moving ur mouse. Now i understand why the cursor jump was necessery.

Anyway can we somehow start 2 applications from one corner?

I mean is possible something like:

top_left_corner_command = gmrun, geany, chromium

and can we show hide Desktop via hot corners?

I tried for both question from above several combinations for commands but
nothing seems to work,

Any thoughts?

Re: [Resolved] jumping cursor after starting Gmrun by hot corner

 top_left_corner_command = gmrun & geany & chromium

should work, dunno about hide desktop.

Re: [Resolved] jumping cursor after starting Gmrun by hot corner

Show and hide desktop is the first command I wanted. But that is settling in to a more simple interface, moving from Mint.

Edit: show/hide desktop is just this-

top_right_corner_command = xdotool key super+d

Lovely. Now to see if that hotness can be extended from not such a specific cornery point
