A trick I've used for years is to link the left of left-most and right =
of the right-most screens then use the switchCorners and =
switchCornerSize options on those screens to prevent the cursor from =
traversing that link when moved. Set switchCorners on the left screen =
to 'left' and on the right screen to 'right' and set switchCornerSize on =
both to at least half the vertical resolution. Now, just like before, =
you can't move your cursor across the left-most and right-most edges =
but, unlike before, switchInDirection will loop!
cheers,
