# Usage

This extension adds KDE-like screen corners to XMonad. By moving your cursor into one of your screen corners you can trigger an `X ()` action, for example `XMonad.Actions.GridSelect.goToSelected` or `XMonad.Actions.CycleWS.nextWS` etc.

To use it, import it on top of your `xmonad.hs`:

     import XMonad.Hooks.ScreenCorners

Then add your screen corners in our startup hook:

     myStartupHook = do
         ...
         addScreenCorner SCUpperRight (goToSelected defaultGSConfig { gs_cellwidth = 200})
         addScreenCorners [ (SCLowerRight, nextWS)
                          , (SCLowerLeft,  prevWS)
                          ]

And finally wait for screen corner events in your event hook:

     myEventHook e = do
         ...
         screenCornerEventHook e
