LiveEdge
LiveEdge is a cool tool that lets you customize how your mouse and keyboard work together. You know how your keyboard and mouse are the basic input devices? Well, with LiveEdge, you can take that to the next level! This software lets you set up hotkeys that activate when your mouse hits certain edges of your screen.
Getting Started with LiveEdge
Before you dive into installing this app, make sure you have the .NET Framework on your computer. Don't worry; most modern Windows versions already come with it.
Using LiveEdge: Easy Setup!
Once you've got it installed and running, it minimizes to your system tray. To start using it, just open up the settings panel where you can configure hotkeys and screen areas. Did you know edge interaction was first introduced in Windows 8? It got some mixed reviews, but LiveEdge can really make things easier!
Customize Your Hotspots
You can set up to six different hotspots—two for the upper side, two for the lower side, and even one for each corner! Just keep in mind that the bottom area is usually saved for your taskbar so that you don't accidentally trigger any functions there.
Hotkeys That Work for You
This nifty application focuses on triggering hotkey commands only within the active window. That means if you're using browser shortcuts or other apps, nothing gets messed up as long as those commands aren't already in use.
Launch Apps & Games with Ease
You can also use these hotkeys to launch applications and games! Just set a hotkey in LiveEdge's settings panel for whatever shortcut you want to open. Plus, if you're into saving time, there's an option to save your hotkey lists to a file so you can switch between different setups whenever needed.
A Comforting Tool for Your Desktop
Overall, LiveEdge adds a nice touch of comfort to your desktop setup. But remember to pick your hotkeys carefully! Setting them up might seem tricky at first—even with help nearby—but once you've got it all configured, you'll definitely want to give it another go!
