Description

When a hotspot (called screen edge/corner in kde language) is defined, kwin highlights that edge/corner as the mouse approaches it - the intensity increases as the distance to the corner decreases. It would be neat if such a feature could be implemented in wayfire.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating Wayfire's hotspot or screen-edge configuration and the pointer handling that detects approach to an edge or corner. Done means a configured hotspot visibly highlights as the pointer nears it, with intensity increasing toward the hotspot.
