Thanks, yes, it's a good suggestion but not what I want.

Is there a good reason the dock has been moved almost as far as possible
from the most sensible hot corner? I thought the whole idea is that the
top-left corner is fastest for most people to get to, and then the dock was
right there. Why would it be on the bottom now? It defeats the purpose.

Thanks! I found it in the keyboard shortcuts settings and swapped them.

Oh, it's there, I just thought we didn't do that anymore and they were all
in extensions.gnome.org. That's confusing. Anyway, thanks! I installed it.
