I just changed distro's to openSUSE 13.2 with pretty much default installation options, which includes the KDE (Plasma) desktop.

I have three monitors, with the main one in the middle.

I run a VMWare virtual machine full-screen across all monitors. This covers the panel at the bottom w/ its desktops widget. What worked for me before (Mint, Cinnamon) was to set the desktop switching to be triggered by mousing off the edge of the desktop, as if all desktops were a single long strip and I viewed whichever contained the cursor.

This not only worked naturally for me, but is pretty much the only thing that can work, since the full-screens VM covers any KDE widgets and the VM eats any keyboard hotkeys as well.

How do I set a similar effect in KDE? I found the controls labelled "Pager Settings" that includes animation during switching and hotkeys, but nothing about mouse. I'm guessing that "global action" is more general than hotkeys... so how do I set this?
