Autohotkey hotcorners script to activate task view
#Persistent
; The following script can define hotcorners for any number of monitors arranged in any configuration.
; Horizontally arranged monitors work best
; Vertically arranged monitors may have some difficulty (read: over sensitivity since moving your mouse too far up puts it into Bottom*, not Top*), but should still work
