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?
