Description

When traversing panes within one tab in the multiplexer there is a case where I would like to see a small behaviour change. If we have one tab open and we jump to the right until there is no more panes I would expect that jumping right would place the cursor at the left most pane. As in :

|          |            | 
|          |         ▮  | # then pressing alt + l 
|          |            |
should be 

|          |            | 
| ▮        |            | 
|          |            |

This works well when we have multiple tabs open, it's just this edge case. Currently the cursor just stays in place and ignores the keyboard

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the pane traversal code in the multiplexer, specifically the logic that handles moving right in a single tab scenario. Look for the condition that determines whether to wrap to the leftmost pane.
