Originally created by @RyKaj on GitHub (Mar 13, 2020).

I am not sure if this is a bug or a feature. Can I move focus based on the visual order of the panels - to be able to navigate clockwise/coutner based on what I see not the order I create the panels?

I already configured my to use shortcut key to switch focus and create horizontal and vertical panels.

I usually create panels based on different (development) environments and/or purpose of the server.
Example:

  • Top panels might be the servers that host website or API, bottom might be database
  • Top left development API, bottom left development (mysql) database. Top right QA API, bottom right QA (mysql) database

When I create the panel I usually first create another vertical panel. Intial is panel 1 and I created panel 2. Shortcut key focus works

I create panel 3 when I am focus in Panel 2.. I need to be focus in panel 2 to focus on panel3. To my this make sense - clockwise and counter clockwise navigation.

I now create panel 4 when I am focus in panel 1.

The focus only allows me to go in the order as I created. If I am in panel 3 I can only go to panel 3 or panel 1. I would like the ability to go to panel 4. If I am in panel 4 I can only go to panel 1 and 2. I can not go directly to panel 3.
