Description

The following focus keybindings seem to have been deprecated:

```
focus_right: Some(( code: Char('l'), modifiers: ( bits: 0,),)),
focus_left: Some(( code: Char('h'), modifiers: ( bits: 0,),)),
focus_above: Some(( code: Char('k'), modifiers: ( bits: 0,),)),
focus_below: Some(( code: Char('j'), modifiers: ( bits: 0,),)),
```

Is there still a way to achieve this behaviour of focusing the right pane without moving into it fully?

Research direction

The issue mentions only the deprecated focus_right, focus_left, focus_above, and focus_below keybindings; it names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the Rust CLI's current pane-focus keybinding handling and its deprecation history, then determine whether the requested behavior should be restored or documented and verify the result interactively.
