I wonder if that binding is very intuitive.  If we do 1/2 for the top 
and bottom panes on the left side, and 3/4 for the top and bottom panes 
on the right side, that makes some sense.  Doing it your way makes it a 
counter-clockwise motion.

I am not arguing for or against this proposal, just pointing something 
worth thinking about.  Either way, I suppose after a while it becomes 
muscle memory so I'm not sure how much difference this subtle thing will 
make.

FWIW, I vote for sticking with Alt.
