Milestone
This item seems incomplete, specifically the
next
portion is missing from the current implementation and the linked spec. To me the idea of having the "in order" style cycling is important (equivalent to just cyclically alt-tabbing between panes) that lets me get to any pane through one keybinding. The "in order" order can be fairly arbitrary (so long as it is consistent), but just iterating through the tree leaves from first-leaf to last-leaf seems reasonable.Also, the current implementation of the
previous
movement seems tangential to the "in order backwards" version, in that it only cycles between two panes. e.g. if you have 3 panes, 1| 2 | 3, and you go from 2 to 3, pressing previous will go to 2, then pressing previous will go back to 3 again, with no way to go back to 1. This can be separately useful, but seems to be solving a different feature request.I would be happy to implement the "in order" next/previous version, but I'm not sure if that goes against the grand plan.
