Description of the Feature:

The scrolling layout has a layout message colresize that can accept either floats or +conf and -conf. In the latter case, it will adjust the active column width according to the list explicit_column_widths.

Upon reaching the last value of the list, it will cycle starting from the other end.

I find this behavior a bit jarring, because if I overshoot, I end up having to cycle through the whole list again.

Thus, I’d like to request a new config setting, colresize_wrap <bool>, that will make this wrapping conditional.

This would be analogous to what wrap_focus and wrap_swapcol do to the focus and swapcol layout messages, respectively.

Sincerely, a very very happy user.

Ooopsie, not sure what was I thinking when I wrote the proposed setting. It clearly should be named wrap_colresize, to be consistent with the naming of the existing similar options (wrap_focus, wrap_swapcol).

Now it’s too late to edit the post, so replying to myself is all I can do.

Sorry!
