Description

  • In non-tabbed view, pressing the down key in the last line of a file could allow to switch directly to the next file (next pane in the editor).
    • Of course, as expected, pressing the return key instead should create a new line in the same file (same pane).
  • Because not everyone might like this, it could be implemented as an optional feature.
  • This suggestion is related to the changes for #274.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the changes for #274 and locating the non-tabbed editor's keyboard handling. The work is done when an optional setting allows Down at the last line to move to the next pane while Return still creates a new line in the current file.
