Just to clarify myself; I was wondering about the difference between
_previous, _next and _up, _down, *not* about cmd_next and
cmd_previous, which to me indeed have a meaning of "go to the next
layout." Although _up and _down DO make sense in some layouts, some
others seem to implement it just as a convenience for key bindings.
This is probably bad practice, and a slippery slope. ("My new Layout
has a cmd_next_depth method! Now I want all layouts to have it!" :) )
I already have some patches towards a more uniform layout structure,
together with a handful of changes that may be considered
improvements. I'll push that forward before the end of the month.
Happy hacking;
M.
