Another example is OS X's active screen corners.
If I set the upper right corner to something useful, like 'Beam me up Scotty', I have about a .5 probability of transporting back to the Enterprise when I really wanted to find a file.
Active corners are cool, but they make a couple other functions difficult to use.
- wtallis 17y agoWhen I set up an active screen corner action, I always go for the top-right corner first, because that's the corner my cursor is least likely to hit. I always bring up the spotlight menu with the keyboard, because there's nothing useful to do with it without moving my hands to keyboard anyways. Since search results can be picked using the arrow keys, there's no need to move your cursor away from the part of the screen that you're working in.
- isleyaardvark 17y agoI've run into that problem occasionally with the upper-left corner when I'm just trying to go to the app's menu bar. I don't run into it with Spotlight because that's practically the only thing up there, and I just use command-space to open Spotlight.
