Description

Good day to you!

Haven't found in #376 about it, so question is:

Thank you!

Research direction
The issue requests adding a 'display panes' feature similar to tmux, which would allow users to quickly jump to a pane by selecting its index. To implement, one should explore Zellij's existing pane management modules (e.g., src/panes/ or zellij tile/), key binding system, and the UI rendering code. The issue references #376 which may have relevant discussion. The maintainers' comments in the issue might provide additional requirements.
