Hi.. I've taken a poke at this via an Internet search. I originally missed you declaring GNOME in the subject line. That brings up this: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface enable-hot-corners false That's a tweak on where they're telling the user on this webpage to enter "true": https://askubuntu.com/questions/1259451/how-to-enable-to-hot-corners-function-on-lubuntu20-04 Maybe once you set that, gsettings can be used to adjust it from there? I tried that command on my setup. It didn't complain since I do have one or more GNOME packages installed. Mine's currently set to "true" with no obvious GUI to set up what actions go with the 4 corners. Because you mentioned this was affecting your browser usage, maybe this explains what happened there: https://haydenjames.io/ubuntu-22-04-install-gnome-extensions-manager-workaround/ It's saying that Firefox, for one, is no longer compatible in that operating system. With some more searching, I encountered gnome-shell-extensions and gnome-shell-extension-manager. Those may or may not help, but they do exist and are specifically mentioned with respect to toggling hot corners. Searching for those two and Debian as keywords keeps trying to point users to outside websites. I don't know why it would since it looks like the same packages are available through Debian's own apt package manager. WARNING: I was going to test drive the extension manager, but gnome-shell-extensions by itself wants to install 201 new packages at 125MB download, 488MB of additional space used. Maybe next time. If anyone gets curious about hot corners, apparently not all desktops offer them and/or they store hot corners access in varying settings locations. Best bet might be to specify the desktop environment in searches. "apt-get search" pulls up an applet for Budgie. Anything else with hot corners apparently has them included as one piece of an inclusive "goodies" type package. Me? I tried it, maybe when I was trapped using Mint's LiveDVD. The experience lasted about 90 seconds. My mouse usage is too erratic, moves around the screen too much so the otherwise helpful effect got old really quick.
