How do I make a Kendo Menu open on hover, not on click?

Question

I have a Kendo menu as my main menu, with config starting like

@using Kendo.Mvc.UI
@(Html.Kendo().Menu()
    .Name("main-menu")
    .OpenOnClick(false)
    .Items(items1 =>

Finding no other config option, I thought making OpenOnClick false would make some magical OpenonHover true. I want menu items with children to open on hover so that I can get rid of the arrow to the right of the parent menu item text, as there is absolutely no spacing between the arrow and the tick. I have unsuccessfully tried the :before and :after' pseudo-selectors to insert space, to no avail. All I could get inserted was a literal " hehe.

Take a look at this jsfiddle. FYI-it's using jQuery, not using Html helper. Hope it's helpful to you.

You can open menu on hover.
