Very cool. I like it. I also noticed the Scroll command for
keystroke wraparound. Unfortunately, the behavior is slightly
different. It's more noticeable when you have a multidimensional
desktop (like 3x2 instead of 4x1) but what happens is when you scroll
off the right side of page 0,2, you wrap to page 1,0, rather than 0,0,
like you do in the EdgeScroll behavior. The same happens if you
scroll off the top of 0,0 - you wrap into 1,1 instead of 0,1.
Is there any way to change the Scroll wraparound behavior so they are
consistent? I much prefer the EdgeScroll behavior, but I don't really
care for the need to grab the mouse. I did check the manpage, and the
behavior is consistent with what the docs say, but I still like the
EdgeScroll behavior better. It's more intuitive for me.
Thanks
