Alt+Right is already taken but other than that this would be fine.
Doing this would involve adding additional signals to the MeldWindow
container so that FileDiffs could request a change in their parent
container. This is a bit of a problem, since in our current model, a
file comparison doesn't know where it was launched from and so has no
notion of its parent. It's not particularly difficult, but would need
some consideration.

Feel free to file a bug. I'm not likely to get around to this any time
soon, but if someone else wants to pick it up that would be great.

cheers,
