Description

I'm always frustrated when I use mod+j/k(move focus clockwise/countclockwise) to move focus out from float windows but never move it back. This behaviour is not consistent.

Personally, I'd like floating windows could always be viewed with mod+j/k.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the focus movement logic in Amethyst, specifically the handlers for mod+j/k (moveFocusClockwise and moveFocusCounterClockwise). Modify them to include floating windows, ensuring consistent behavior when moving focus from and to floating windows.
