Pavel Jelic Of course, on our Mac and MacBook there are various shortcuts (not only the "trackpad" ones) with which we can easily perform several actions. But if you don't use a trackpad and have a mouse and keyboard connected, you'll definitely like the Active Corners feature. Active corners work in such a way that whenever you move the cursor to any corner of the screen, some action will be performed. For example, you can use one of the active corners to get to the desktop, put the system to sleep, or open Mission Control.

How to set up Active Corners?

Active corners is one feature I didn't know about. Although I've only been using Active Corners for a short time, I really liked it and think it's a feature I'd be happy to recommend to you - at least to try it out. In my opinion, you will get used to this feature and start using it as frequently as I do.
