why do we need to press <CR> when moving the focus?

[azinsharaf]

when moving the cursor focus (for example from left panel to the ringht one) we use CTRL+ P + L + <cr> . Is there any reason we need to press enter? I see it as an axtra step and wondering that part can be removed?

It's a guess, but if you have more than one pane, the idea is that since you had to use a prefix key (Ctrl+P), you would like to perform all the movements and then break.

If you don't like that - I'm pretty sure you can configure the binding in the config.kdl file.

@Lockszmith-GH yeah makes sense. Do you know how i can configure that binding?

Check out https://zellij.dev/documentation/configuration.html (and more specifically the keybindings section) for a detailed explanation.

I use the Alt+arrows to move across panes, have you tried that?
