Looks like they rearranged their github pages:
https://github.com/BunsenLabs/bunsen-ut ... hotcorners
Next time just search for their main page for their utilities:

Thanks asqwerth, this works!
This is the content of ~/.config/bl-hotcorners/bl-hotcornersrc for now:
Code: Select all
[Hot Corners]
top_left_corner_command =xfce4-popup-whiskermenu
top_right_corner_command =
bottom_left_corner_command =
bottom_right_corner_command =
I added xfce4-popup-whiskermenu as top_left_corner_command and now with the mouse at top left corner the whisker menu just pops up. Great!
By the way, could you suggest other useful commands for the rest of the corners? I would appreciate that.
Thanks again!

@asqwerth: is the Wiki article still good? I ask b/c I saw a post on the Xfce Forum today recommending it.

just found xfce4-hotcorner-plugin in Synaptic with the following description:
Provides an easy to use xfce4 panel plugin to let users set hotcorner actions.
Currently it supports the following operation in primary display:
- xfdashboard
- toggle desktop
- start screensaver
- turn off monitor
- run custom command
Could this be used as an alternative to the bl-hotcorner?

Hot corner plugin no longer works in Stretch, which is why I went looking for alternatives. And amended my wiki entry. Previous entry mentioned the xfce plugin.
I tested the plugin early in MX17's life and I recall doing some searches which showed it was a reported issue, not just specific to MX. If it's since been fixed, I don't know about it.
In mx15/16, the hot corner plugin will still work. So that's my setup in my mx15/16 installs.
Brightside will also work in MX17/18 but is very laggy. The response time after you move cursor to a corner is SLOOOOW.
Jerry, the wiki entry is still accurate except for the bunsenlabs link.

Read the wiki entry in more detail. I also use it to activate xfdashboard and "show desktop"

Sure, I will. I guess, I was excited about getting it working that I stopped short of reading it through (bad excuse, I know).
Anyway, thanks so much for all the help!
I'll mark this topic solved.

I'm chuffed that it's been quoted in XFCE forums!
The Wiki entry is still good save for the bunsenlabs github link for bl-hotcorner having changed. I have now updated my Wiki page to correct that, and:
1. clarify that xfdashboard can be triggered not just by keyboard shortcut but also by panel launcher
2. correct a typo
3. inform everyone that the skippy-xd package that was recompiled by Tim now works again.
