Summary
Adds an
infinite_loopoption to the scrolling layout that makes horizontal focus navigation wrap around instead of stopping at the edges.Motivation
In the scrolling layout, reaching the last column and pressing
focus rightcurrently does nothing. Some users expect the focus to jump back to the first column, similar to how workspace cycling works in other WMs.Changes

Add this to your
rift.tomlunder[settings.layout.scrolling]:With this config,
focus righton the last column jumps to the first, andfocus lefton the first column jumps to the last.
