I know that's how it works but it's counter intuitive to me and I can't develop muscle memory for it, I actually have to look at the list rather than do it on muscle memory which sort of defeats the purpose.
Cycling between the two top windows by pressing some button assigned to 'forward' and another to 'back' makes a lot more sense to me than doing it with the same button.
