Selection Setting

Pros

Cons

Top Edge

Bottom Edge

Center

Left Edge

Right Edge

100% Reversible:


With Right Edge behavior set, right from window 1 is window 4 and left from window 4 is window 1.(1→4←1)

May take more keystrokes to cross multiple windows:


With Left Edge set moving right from window 1 to window 4 would take 3 strokes. (1→3→2→4)


Selection Setting


Pros


Cons

First Selected

Fewer Keystrokes generally needed:


Moving right from window 1 to window 4 would take 1 stroke. (1→4)


Mostly Reversible:


Moving right from window 1 to window 4 and left from window 4 would return to window 1. (Because first selection was Right so the right edges would be used for comparison.


More keystrokes needed to reach hidden windows:


To move to window 3 from window 1 would take 3 keystrokes. 

(For Example: 1→4←1←3)


Not 100% reversible:


From window 1 left then right would move 1←2→4 instead of 1←2→1 ( assuming screen wrapping was enabled) This is because first selection was left so only left edges are considered.



Selection Setting


Pros


Cons

Leading Edge

Fewest Keystrokes generally needed:




More keystrokes needed to reach hidden windows:


(see First Selected example)


Not reversible:


Since windows are different heights and widths most movements will not be exactly reversible. 

(For example: right then left from 1 would be 1→4←2 instead of  1→4←1)
