Is "Increase Delay on Auto-Hide Opening" Adjustable

from Stardock Forums

Sidebar is unwantingly opening about 20 times a day because my mouse ptr is near the edge of the screen for a moment. This may occur because Im clicking the close window on a full screen app or trying to use drag a scroll button near the right edge.

I have delay checkbox enabled but I was wondering if there was a setting or regkey to set the delay.

If not, could someone consider this for a future enhancement?

Not but there are two other options you could consider:

Aligning the bar to the left side of the monitor:

Right-click the bar:

Use the hotkey to open KVM instead of the bar:

Good idea but I cant align left. I have 2 monitors side by side (secondary on left, primary on right) The desktop spans both monitors. The left hand usually is set to HDMI #2 which displays my PS5. When I set MP to align left, it aligns to the left of monitor 1 (which means it is not visible until I switch back to HDMI #1). If there was an option to "Align left on primary", that would work.

However since I now know how to create a shortcut, sidebar isnt 100% critical. I can just throw a shortcut into the taskbar if you dont want to offer adjustable delay

And to clarify, if i align left and choose show on monitor 2, i cant trigger sidebar to display because the mouse doesnt stop on the left edge on monitor 2, it continues onto monitor 1. For some reason my NVidia card thinks monitor 1 is active even when its on a different input. This prevents the cursor from stopping at the left boundary of monitor 2.

Its a pain
