Re: fittstool: possible alternative for bl-hotcorners

Thanks.

Here's the fittstoolrc for the above so you can get a better idea off how it's configured.
Hash's to comment out.
Note: There is a bug if your commands run to more than 100 characters, Thread and fix here:
https://github.com/bbidulock/icewm/issues/349

It's WM independent I've used it on icewm as above, also openbox, windowmaker, PWM, TWM, and evilwm. One thing that can make it behave badly is running multiple instances. I set my fittstool launcher to something like

killall fittstool ; fittstool &

depending on your WM or launching method.
