Hot corners seem like a terrible idea, simply because they're far too easy to acquire (by Fitts' Law). I don't want Expose or whatever to show up every single time I move my mouse to the top right corner, which is often accidentally.
- robgough 15y agoI've had this setup for years now, and never accidentally done this. Don't forget on a Mac you're much less often moving your mouse to the top right corner (window closing is on the top left of a window. The further most icons are always the Apple on the left, and Spotlight on the right. Both of which I rarely open by hand. If I'm using Spotlight it's always by keyboard command Cmd-Space (though often I use Alfred instead). And at least on a Laptop I rarely need to shutdown the Mac, which is all I'd use the Apple menu for. Though again, anything I'd go to that menu for I use Alfred for instead. May be worth turning it on and see how you get on with it?

I move the mouse to the top right whenever I want to just get it out of the way. May be worth turning it on and see how you get on with it? I don't use a Mac. Wait, let me correct that -- I use a MacBook, but with Windows on it almost all the time.
