Originally created by @vefatica on GitHub (Oct 2, 2023).

Description of the new feature/enhancement

If you're in the rightmost pane Alt+Right takes you to the leftmost pane (similarly for the other three). I often want to switch back and forth between two panes.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

This seems totally reasonable.

Thanks. I'm surprised it hadn't been requested before. You have various levels of backlog (which I don't understand). Is it likely to be implemented any time soon?

Notes:

  • Move focus should be torodial
  • Move pane should not be
@zadjii-msft commented on GitHub (Oct 4, 2023): Notes: * Move focus should be torodial * Move pane should **not** be

Move focus should be torodial

Heehee! I thought of that very word figuring there was already something rectangular. Just last week I took a few random walks on a torus!

Hi @zadjii-msft , I have a question regarding this.. suppose we have the panes as below :

And we are currently focused on A and press Alt+Left. Should the focus then move to pane B or C? I am trying to visualize the toroidal movement, but am confused about this.

Honestly, I'd probably just go with "B" in that case. Either one is an arbitrary choice, might as well just go with the first one of the two.

Similarly, I'd expect it to do the same thing as going right from A (in the above example)

Or, if it's ambiguous, just do nothing. Will something like this ever be implemented? I could use it.
