Description
In two-pane file manager ForkLift there are some cool little commands like "Clone pane" (open in the right pane the same folder as the one that I see in the left pane or vice versa) and "Swap panes" (open in the left pane the thing that is currently on the right and vice versa).
Maybe the same commands could be implemented in "Window Tools" plugin? Imagine how convenient it could be.
It is mostly suitable for two splits / two windows, obviously, but I can also imagine it working in a cyclic way if that's more convenient and/or universal to implement.

The issue names the Window Tools plugin but provides no file paths or tests. Start by locating that plugin and reviewing how it manages splits or windows. Define the behavior for cloning and swapping two panes, including whether cyclic behavior is needed, then verify both commands manually.
