how can I re-disable the hot corner in gnome-shell 40?

2.7k Views Asked by At

I used to disable gnome-shell's hot corner feature with the No Topleft Hot Corner extension. Upgrading to gnome-shell 40 has it deprecated. Gnome-tweaks claims it's able to disable it as well, but activating this "disable the hot-corner" option doesn't deactivate the hot corner at all. Finally, I found reading this Ask Ubuntu thread that I could

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface enable-hot-corners false

but it doesn't work either, even though the command succeeds.So this little Apple©-like annoyance is back.

So indeed the question is : how do I get rid of it again ? ... Hell I love you Gnome, but you're really stepping on my nerves from time to time.

It appears I had to reboot for the gsettings command to take effect. And now that I did reboot, the command is taking effect immediately, meaning I can switch live the hotcorner feature with

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface enable-hot-corners false

and

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface enable-hot-corners true

I suppose that it did not work because the workstation was not rebooted since I had upgraded GNOME. Hope this documents this feature's behaviour as a whole.
