[SOLVED] Go to Gnome Settings > Multitasking > Disable Hot Corners

I’m on NixOS 24.05 and I’m using GNOME 46.2 (Wayland) and whenever I hover over the upper left corner of my screen all apps are showing as if I clicked the “Show Apps” button. Is there any way to turn it off? It’s driving me insane. Since I’m working with multiple monitors, it’s happening quite frequently. Thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot @KryptonNerd@slrpnk.net & @tychosmoose@lemm.ee! Couldn’t find that option in Gnome Tweaks, but in the Gnome multitasking settings, there’s an option to disable hot corners. I don’t know why these settings don’t show up, when you search for ‘hot corners’ in settings, though.

Huh, you’re right. I type “hot” and it turns up, but as soon as I type “hot c” it disappears. I also tried “hotcorner” and still nothing. How strange.

If I remember to I’ll do a bug report tonight 🤓

E: known issue, and it’s not limited to just this search by the looks of it

Ah, good to know. I’ve been on KDE for a while and didn’t know the option was in settings now.

I might be misremembering, but I think these are called hot corners and can be turned off either in the settings or in gnome tweaks

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
