Disable workspace switcher using mouse

Post by Giancarlo PSK »

Hi everyone! I updated Cinnamon to 1.6 version. It's really a great update. However, I have a little problem to solve. Basically, when I put the mouse on the right xor left side of the screen, it switches the workspace. It's so hateful. How can i disable this function?
Thank you!

Under "Windows" in Cinnamon Settings, uncheck the "Enable Edge Flip" box.

Worked for me as well, it's been bugging me for weeks and somehow I haven't been able to track down this answer!
Thanks! :-)

Yeah that works... But less than ideal. Does anyone know how to disable the automatic workspace switching without loosing the ability to drag one window to another, and not via the expo?

If you're using Nadia, or Maya with Cinnamon 1.6, that setting is under Cinnamon Settings -> Windows -> Enable Edge Flip.

The reason I've disabled that setting is because I don't want cinnamon to "flip" to a new desktop when my mouse pointer rests on the edge of the screen. I would prefer not to have that happen while still having the ability to take windows from one workspace to the other.
