yes, that was essentially what triggered my initial question.

not quite. you cycle through all the frames in a fixed order,
so that - at least for a moderate number of frames in the tiling
it's quite easy to memorize the cycling order.
in contrast, the default navigation via Mod1-Tab, -K-N, -K-P, suffers
indeed from the 'memory effect' w.r.t. to where Mod1-Tab is jumping next.
thankfully tuomo told me (despite his negative rating of cycling)
off-list how to define frame-cycling:
--add this definition to cfg_ioncore.lua:
defbindings("WFrame", {
kpress(META.."J", "ioncore.goto_next(_, 'next')"),
})
--------------
I've decided to like this approach to augment the usual navigation
facilities, especially in small tilings such as 2 x 2.
