I wonder if that binding is very intuitive. If we do 1/2 for the top and bottom panes on the left side, and 3/4 for the top and bottom panes on the right side, that makes some sense. Doing it your way makes it a counter-clockwise motion. I am not arguing for or against this proposal, just pointing something worth thinking about. Either way, I suppose after a while it becomes muscle memory so I'm not sure how much difference this subtle thing will make. > > > The initial propsal from me was to use CTRL/CMD+1/2/3/4.
