The "Wrap at borders" setting determines whether desktop switching operations wrap at the screen borders or not.

When wrap is allowed, if you are in the first (upper left) desktop, switching to the left or top will switch to the rightmost or lowest desktop, respectively. Otherwise, if wrap is not allowed, switching to the left or to the top would produce no desktop switch.

Wrap is by default disabled.

This setting applies to both keyboard and mouse desktop switch operations. (You can enable keyboard desktop switch on this notebook page, and mouse desktop switch operations on the second "Movement" page in the "Mouse" notebook.)
