            Bug ID: 416571
           Summary: Option for "sticky edges" in multi-screen
                    configuration.
           Product: plasmashell
           Version: 5.17.5
          Platform: unspecified
                OS: All
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Multi-screen support
          Assignee: aleix...@kde.org
          Reporter: naik.a...@gmail.com
                CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
  Target Milestone: 1.0

SUMMARY
It's a good idea to have sticky edges on a multi-monitor setup as provided by
Unity. i.e. A user might want to be able to set up a pressure threshold which
prevents the mouse from moving between screens inadvertently in certain
situations. For example, one might want to have sticky edge during normal usage
to keep the cursor on the screen of interest, but not want it while dragging a
window between the screens.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Move mouse cursor across shared border between two screens on a multi-screen
setup.

OBSERVED RESULT
Notice that it is easy to unintentionally move the cursor to the other screen. 

EXPECTED RESULT
A user might want to be able to set up a pressure threshold which prevents the
mouse from moving between screens inadvertently in certain situations.
