Focus the first visible tiled client in layout order on the focused monitor. The client is selected using the same VISIBLEON/ISFAKETILED traversal used by Mango's layout engine, so the action behaves consistently across layouts and follows ordering changes made by actions such as zoom. Floating and otherwise ineligible clients are skipped. Do nothing when no eligible client exists or when it is already focused, avoiding unnecessary cursor warping.

This adds a
focus_first_tileddispatcher that focuses the first visible tiled window in layout order on the focused monitor. In a master/stack layout that's the master window.I tried scripting this over IPC first, but
focusiddoesn't warp the cursor, so with sloppyfocus the focus snaps back as soon as the mouse moves.The window is picked with the same
VISIBLEON/ISFAKETILEDwalk the layout code uses, so it agrees with whatever the layout puts first (after zoom, nmaster changes and so on) and skips floating windows. If there's no eligible window, or it's already focused, it does nothing, so the cursor never warps without reason.I've been running this daily for about two weeks without issues.
I think this fits as core functionality, but no hard feelings if you see it differently.
