+If desired, you can disable this behavior by setting the +focus_wrapping+

-focus_wrapping no

-By default, focus wrapping does not occur if there is another window or
-container in the specified direction, and focus will instead be set on that
-window or container. This is the default behavior so you can navigate to all
-your windows without having to use +focus parent+.
+When enabled, focus wrapping does not occur by default if there is another
+window or container in the specified direction, and focus will instead be set
+on that window or container. This is the default behavior so you can navigate

If you want the focus to *always* wrap and you are aware of using +focus
-parent+ to switch to different containers, you can use the
-+force_focus_wrapping+ configuration directive. After enabling it, the focus
-will always wrap.
+parent+ to switch to different containers, you can instead set +focus_wrapping+
+to the value +force+.
