I think I understand the tree stuff, but I like my 'up' to just go 'up' when another container is located just above the current one. is there a way to achieve this, for example by splitting a container in 4 equal parts, so I can logically move focus around between these? on a related note, I'd also really like to see a configuration option to disable wrapping.Fri, 18 Jan 2013 10:16:52 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/1083/focus-follows-screen-layout/https://faq.i3wm.org/question/1083/focus-follows-screen-layout/?answer=1084#post-id-1084If you always work with exactly four terminals, you could use “VIM-like marks” to first tag them, then navigate to them with fixed shortcuts, see http://i3wm.org/docs/userguide.html#vim_like_marks Apart from that, there is no i3 built-in to achieve what you want. Also, I am not very keen to add more options with regards to wrapping behavior.Fri, 18 Jan 2013 10:59:46 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/1083/focus-follows-screen-layout/?answer=1084#post-id-1084
