I often split my workspace into four equally-sized rectangles, call them
UL, UR, LL, and LR for upper left, etc.

I'm in UL and want to go to LL, so I direct the focus downward. From LL, I
want to go to LR, so I say to go right. From LR, I want to go to UR, so I
say to go up. But I land in UL instead. The behavior I'm describing will
vary depending on how you chose to do your splits, but hopefully you see
what I'm getting at.

I understand at least a little bit about why that is the behavior, but I
was wondering if there could be some new behavior on a special case or
type of workspace that is split like MxN, kind of like a table in HTML
without colspan support, etc. If I could say I wanted a 2x2 or 2x3 or
whatever kind of workspace, it wouldn't be ambiguous which tile I meant I
wanted to go to if I said to go up or right or whatever. It'd be like
changing the active cell in a spreadsheet.
