thank you so much, it really helps.

recently encountered an error with the chain of command package code, it only closes a single pane and pushes the rest to the right. is there any way to only close one at a time?

Hmm, I'm not entirely sure what you mean. If you destroy the current pane (which the above does) you're effectively changing the layout of the window; for example if you had it as two columns, that will make it one.

It sounds like your issue is that if you had a window split in half and with multiple tabs open in both, triggering the pane to destroy moves the files to a different group, or something along those lines?

Thanks! This was really helpful. May I ask what "context": [{ "key": "terminus_view"}] does?

The context makes the key binding only available in cases where the condition(s) specified in the the context have to evaluate to true in order for the key binding to be active; otherwise it's effectively ignored. In this particular case it makes sure that the key only has an effect when the thing that currently has the input focus is a Terminus view,.
