ah sorry for the late reply here on reviewboard.
In general I think it is very inconsistent to only add Left/Right. If we change this \
it has to become more generic. Why not just the left edge (right edge for synergy)?
If we go for a everything configurable approach the current approach for implementing \
it won't scale at all. If we don't go for a generic approach and accept it we have to \
ask ourself what this should help. It looks like a solution for a specific usecase.
Maybe it would be better to think about other solutions. Maybe window rules to block \
a screenedge? Maybe KWin scripting support for screen edges?

for screen edge
switching: "Always Enabled, Left/Right Only"
When selected, desktop switching only reserves the "electric borders" for \
the left and right edges, and performs switching without regard to the pager
layout. The settings UI is adjusted to allow custom actions on top & bottom
edges in this case, or pass through to applications.
Permits other applications, like virtualbox or various remote desktop
solutions to use the top or bottom screen edge hot spots for their own
