I assumed that since it is possible to change the active panel using the left and right arrow keys, you would want this documented.
I copied up-key and down-key from elsewhere in the document as the existing convention for notating arrow keys.

I don't get it either. Left / Right arrow keys do not switch to the other panel for me. They walk left-right in the command line, or if Lynx-style navigation is enabled then enter/leave a directory.
Is there a setting for this behavior that I've missed?

I have the command line hidden.

Indeed; if command line is hidden and Lynx-style navigation is disabled then left/right arrows also switch panels.
Unless we want to be super pedantic about documenting every slightest bit of the behavior (which I don't think we want), I think we should simply leave out these hotkeys from the documentation.

seems like quite the misfeature in the first place. who'd want such inconsistent behavior?

I've cleaned up the commit and would like to merge these documentation improvements irrespective of whether this movement stuff is a feature or a bug.

I'd rather simply leave out these left/right keys, IMO they're more confusing than useful.
But if you'd prefer to keep them then that's also fine by me.
Thanks!
