Question: How to get a macOS style "Quick Note" on Windows? (Hover mouse to the corner/side to open a note)

"I really love the Quick Note feature on macOS where you just move your mouse cursor to the bottom-right corner (or side) of the screen, and a quick scratchpad notes window pops up instantly. smth like that on windows?"

You can use this short action with AlomWare Toolbox to do so. Just run it, and whenever the mouse is put in the bottom-right corner of the desktop, the app opens to its "Notes" tab.

Code Select Expand

(Start)
HOW TO USE: Copy from Start to End, and then paste into an action.
REFERENCE : See an example of pasting at alomware.com/paste.png
0001 Wait: For the mouse to be "{=deskw$-1},{=deskh$-1}"
0002 Toolbox: Show the tab named "Notes"
0003 Wait: For the mouse to be "moved"
0004 Action: Go to start ""
(End)
Explanation of the steps:

• Waits for the mouse to be at the desktop's width and height (minus 1 pixel for each).
• Opens AlomWare Toolbox's window and jumps to the "Notes" tab for you.
• Waits for the mouse to be moved anywhere, which in this case is off the bottom-right corner.
• Goes back to step 1 to wait for the mouse to be at the bottom-right corner again.

If you wanted the action to show the "Notes" tab when the mouse is at the right side of the screen, just edit step 1 to be this:

Code Select Expand

0001 Wait: For the mouse to be "{=deskw$-1},#"
If you'd prefer a hotkey to show "Notes" instead, then you can use this single-step action (which has no mouse polling):
