It actually does when you use grid layouts. I think I've already dug out
the code demonstrating this in another thread. It's relative to the
current pane's top left corner. But yeah, it's not always intuitive.

I guess the navigation in grid based layouts will keep coming up. I
think it might worth a FAQ entry and just pointing people there.

Okay, here's another idea before deciding on closing this and just
adding a FAQ entry. How about a new option called something like
"pane-switch-behavior". When you set it to "remember" it is the current
behavior. When you set it to "top-left-relative" we have the old
behavior for people not ready for any changes.

And here comes the new, somewhat intuitive option "cursor-relative": it
looks at the current cursor coordinates and uses that to find a pane
relative to it. Does this make sense? Do you think this is a good idea
or is this still an "obscure" behavior?

Thanks!
