Please add support closePaneRight/Left/Up/Down

[kgfly]

Description of the new feature/enhancement

I want to look for a way to close eg right pane and bind it to a hot key.
Currently, to close eg right pane, I need move focus to right pane first. Then close it.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Please add support closePaneRight/Left/Up/Down.
Then people can bind it to a hot key

Thanks.

Okay I like the idea, but what happens when someone's got something like the following:

[ A | B | C ]

What happens when they closeRight from pane A? Or the even more complicated [ A | B | C | D ]? What happens when the nesting gets ridiculous like

[kgfly]

In this case, [ A | B | C ]. What happens when they closeRight from pane A?
I suggest close B only.

I found, multi command binding, eg
{ "command": "moveFocusRight","command": "closePane", "keys": ["alt+l"] }
does not work.

That's why I propose.

Other software, such vim, supports above multi command binding easily.

Thanks.

If "multi command binding" is supported, that would be even better.

Ah okay. What you really want is tracked over here, in #3992. Thanks for helping clarify!
